Your lockdown film for the day Timecode by Mike Figgis

This is where it all started, the film was shot on digital video, the screen split in four, the structuring of the story, is the message. As for the process of editing, there was not one single cut.

A production company begins casting for its next feature, and an up-and-coming actress named Rose (Salma Hayek) tries to manipulate her filmmaker boyfriend, Alex, into giving her a screen test. Alex’s wife, Emma (Saffron Burrows), 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.
