Abstract

Couldn't an exciting film be made from the map of Paris? From the unfolding of its various aspects in temporal succession? From the compression of a centuries-long movement of streets, boulevards, arcades, and squares into the space of half an hour? And does the flâneur do anything different? (Benjamin 1999: 83) A frame for cultural mappings, film is modern cartography. (Bruno 2002: 71)
