Even after having lived within the confines of that shot, and having lived within stumbling distance of those towers, I still feel it. Despite the multitude of filmmakers and characters that wander these urban environments, locating revelatory findings in its spatial-imaginary as they do, the flâneur remains a surprisingly underdeveloped concept in film theory.

What it records lasts for as long as it can, or for as long as it has to, or until it just stops.
