Zusatztext Richard Suchenski opens a totally innovative perspective regarding relations between film length, editing, memory, poetry and reality. This groundbreaking work enlightens the resources, and the significance, of the use of a very long format by some specific filmmakers in some specific conditions. It is at the same time perfectly clear about the implication of such an approach, way beyond the 'monuments of the history of cinema' it explicitly focuses on. The sensible quality of Suchenski's writing about specific sequences, scenes, images, or historical and technical components of the filmmaking process provides an understanding and an emotional proximity toward major filmic works, should they be already well-known by the reader or, on the opposite, revealed thanks to this book.
