TLDR
A frame for cultural mappings, film is modern cartography as discussed by the authors, and does the flâneur do anything different from the map of Paris? But it is difficult to make a movie from a map of the city.
Abstract
Couldn’t an exciting film be made from the map of Paris? From the unfolding of its various aspects in temporal succession? From the compression of a centuries-long movement of streets, boulevards, arcades, and squares into the space of half an hour? And does the flâneur do anything different? (Benjamin 1999: 83) A frame for cultural mappings, film is modern cartography. (Bruno 2002: 71)
