A movie showing at Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art is a member of one of the rarest subgenres in the history of cinema: movies shot in just one take.
“Victoria” tells the story of a Spanish woman who has just moved to Berlin. She meets an intriguing man, but her fascination with him turns dangerous, as he lures her into an undesirable situation.
Director Sebastian Schipper began shooting the film at 4:30 a.m. in a nightclub and the story unfolds in real time, the action ending as the sun is coming up.
The drama, in German with subtitles, will be shown Thursday and Saturday, July 21 and 23, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, July 24, at 2 p.m. Admission to “Victoria” is $9, $8 seniors and students, $7 members, free to Insider Access members and above.
Also the “Summer Sizzle Under the Stars” series presents “My Man Godfrey,” a 1936 screwball comedy about a vagrant who is not the man he appears to be. The Carole Lombard-William Powell classic will be shown at 8:15 p.m. outdoors in Gengras Court. Live music and dinner service begins at 5 p.m.
Admission to “My Man Godfrey” is $9, $8 seniors and students, $5 members, free to Hartford residents. Food must be purchased separately. thewadsworth.org.
