We are pulling an all-nighter with Victoria this week on Scene Stealers. For The Vault Charles continues his love for Denis Villeneuve and riding sand worms talking about Dune Part Two. Leo flexes his muscles talking about a new movie for his Vault choice with Rose Glass’ strong neo-noir Love Lies Bleeding. The main take is 2015’s German film Victoria. Directed by Sebastian Schipper, the story follows a women named Victoria, played by the lovely Laia Costa, who has a fun night out of dancing, meets a group of guys, and finds herself mixed up with the wrong people. The catch, however, is that Victoria is filmed in one singular take, with the camera constantly moving, and the intensity taking the audience for a wild ride. Find out what Leo & Charles think on this episode of Scene Stealers!
