Timecode
Four cameras. One take. No edits. Real time.
Directed by Mike Figgis
Produced by Red Mullet, Screen Gems
A formally audacious real-time drama about infidelity, manipulation, and surveillance told across four simultaneous quadrants, prioritizing technical innovation over emotional warmth.
A production company begins casting for its next feature, and an up-and-coming actress named Rose tries to manipulate her filmmaker boyfriend, Alex, into giving her a screen test. Alex's wife, Emma, knows about the affair and is considering divorce, while Rose's girlfriend secretly spies on her and attempts to sabotage the relationship. The four storylines in the film were each shot in one take and are shown simultaneously, each taking up a quarter of the screen.
