Involuntary (film)

Involuntary Swedish De ofrivilliga is a 2008 Swedish film directed by Ruben stlund described as a tragic comedy or comic tragedy. It features five parallel stories with human group behaviour as the common theme. The film is notable for its long takes with no cuts within the scenes. This is related to stlunds background as a skiing film director, where a cut would only indicate failure. The longest scene lasts for seven minutes.

The work with the script started already in autumn 2004, when stlund and Hemmendorff started to write down vignettes on the theme, inspired by or taken directly from their own experiences.Filming started in the summer 2006. One scene per day was shot during the production, with aroundtakes for each scene, although some scenes demanded far more. The independent stories were shot one at a time, meaning that many of the actors never met before the premiere. ........
