It took 3 attempts to film the movie. The take used for the final cut was the third one and completed from 4:30 AM to 7:00 AM on 27 April 2014 in the Kreuzberg and Mitte neighborhoods.
Shot in one single continuous shot (134 minutes).
The original screenplay was very short (only 12 pages), since a large part of the dialogue was improvised. Because of this, the writers are credited for story and not for screenplay.
Despite its positive reviews, this movie was disqualified for an Academy Award nomination in the Best Foreign Language Film category due to its large amounts of English dialogue.
Just like the other famous one-take film "Russian Ark", "Victoria" was to be filmed only three times. In the case of both films, this succeeded with the third and last take.
Sebastian Schipper: when Victoria is leaving the club to get her bike, Schipper walks in the background of the shot. Laia Costa recognized him and gave him a little look before she looks back at her bike again. He surprised everyone and walked to his car to get his chewing gums.
