Russian Ark
What's so weird about the film titled RUSSIAN ARK? It's 90-some minutes long--and shot entirely in one continuous take. The camera--a special digital one--was turned on and never turned off for the duration of the shoot. They had to try four times before they suceeded.

Strange Russian Cartoon
If anyone has any idea what is going on in this cartoon, please tell the rest of us!Everytime I see a foreign cartoon like this, I am reminded of the parody of same once seen on The Simpsons.
