"especially those long corridors ... 'corridor metaphysics', is what the french 
call this condition." (p. 394)


 that's what the critic, rich quoted some weeks ago, meant. now i remember the 
 french film, this is probably refering to. it's by alain resnais & called 
 "l'année dernière à marienbad" [1962]. indeed, one long meditation on corridor 
 metaphysics. not without effect. but then i like kubrick's tracking shots  
 better ... kfl
