Ocean’s Eleven is different: the reconstruction of a failed bank robbery, involving 96 actors and filmed from one single camera position using no cuts whatsoever – as if from the unswervingly quiet and investigative view point of a CCTV camera. Ruben Östlund’s witty and exactly executed real-time-study revises the action-filled cinema image of the cool robber.
