The adrenaline-inducing film Boiling Point is out in cinemas and online. Shot in a single take on a single night at a London restaurant, the movie has inspired Ellen and Mark to take a closer look at one-shot films and those that appear to be. What does the one-shot do for a movie? Is it any more than showing off?

Boiling Point聽stars Stephen Graham as an under-pressure chef whose life is unravelling over a busy night in the聽restaurant. Ellen talks to director Philip Barantini, himself聽a former chef, about his decision to film the feature as a 鈥渙ner鈥� and the pressures that caused.聽

On the front page of the script for 1917 Sam Mendes had written,聽"This is envisioned as a single shot,". Mark speaks to legendary cinematographer Roger Deakin about how he realised the director's vision for the First World War epic.

And, fresh from her victory at the British Independent Film Awards, Boiling聽Point star Vinette聽Robinson shares what she鈥檚 been watching in Viewing Notes.
