Slow Burn (Eye Filmmuseum)

"[..] For proponents of the slow-cinema idea, an action should take just as long as it needs; a car approaching from a long distance in a broad landscape doesn’t have to appear in front of the camera in close-up within two seconds (see Ceylan’s Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, for example). Carrying out domestic chores can be filmed in real time; cooking a potato takes place according to the laws of physics, not those of cinematography (as in, for example, Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman).
