If you study Slow Cinema, or time in film in more general terms, you cannot avoid reading Mary Ann Doane's The Emergence of Cinematic Time (2004).

I haven't managed to read the whole book yet, though, but I'm definitely missing something there.

In any case, Doane made reference to something that I had come about when I started reading . . .
