Masterful example of the way film images aren’t a record of any particular person’s seeing or hearing. From Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy. Nearly all of it is a recollection, so is shifted in time, but also each of the images is not a particular person seeing or hearing things, it’s the perception of the story itself, as a Being or person. As a viewer the whole lot hangs together as a ‘story’ but that unity is felt, not just strung together. The story is an actual Being, made of percepts and affects, which we engage with.
