"Pökler in his horny staring had missed the Director's clever Gnostic
symbolism in the lighting scheme of the two shadows, Cain's and
Abel's. But Ilse, some Ilse, has persisted beyond her cinema mother,
beyond film's end, and so have the shadows of shadows. In the Zone,
all will be moving under the Old Dispensation, inside the Cainist's
light and space: not out of any precious Göllerei, but because the
Double Light was always there, outside the film, and that shucking
and jiving moviemaker was the only one around at the time who
happened to notice it and use it, although in deep ignorance, then
and now, of what he was showing the nation of
starers. . . ." (GR, Viking Penguin, p. 429)
