In Reply to: longest tracking shot ever? posted by HI FI BOB on April 23, 2005 at 06:34:18:
Very beginning of the movie. I don't know about the longest, but it is certainly beauty motion. Longest complex scene of movement I have ever seen without a cut. Can't imagine how many takes to get that shot right. Altman at his best....

Follow Ups:
...by a couple characters in that self-same opening shot, it's a witty Altamn homage to a similar looooong opening take in Welle's Touch Of Evil.I've got both on DVD - I haven't timed them but I think The Player's is maybe longer.
Also, the man being lectured to asks the tracking shot advocate about Antonini's "The Sheltering Sky" and the advocate admits he has never seen it.

...I meant to include that these two long tracking shots are each a little over 7 minutes long.
