How did Janus come to be emblematic of film?

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

Films are dreams we have together (Cocteau), we are Januses,
thresholders of dreams, but at the same time, the Janus-film
returns our gaze, as daddy Lacan always sez - like that black
window on the opposite side of the yard watches Jimmy Stewart
in "Rear Window", the film regards us.
