causality and a devotion to realism. This is usually obtained through the use of long takes, minimalist acting, slow or inexistent camera movements, unconventional use of music and sparse editing.

Each speaker can respond to some or all of what the previous speaker said, or they can take the conversation in an entirely new direction. Unhurried Conversations is a
