I remember that when I played the partitas of J. S. Bach, there came a point when the embellishments were so thoroughly learned and accomplished that they became, in themselves, only music:  that is, the notes being embellished and the embellishments upon those notes ceased belonging to separate categories, and there were no longer any embellishments at all.

Look at the samurai battle playing now on the screen. Mehr lesen “I begin to wonder,” he told her (“him” again), “whether those dreams are entirely mine,” in this reflecting Jung, of course, but he wonders only whether the dreams encompass the “totality” of the whole city (of Tokyo), and this is because he is locked by his own vital fascination into the prison of Tokyo as an experience. I have experienced this same illusion. Think of the global desire now to say everything in a single breath—the sound bite, the tweet, the silent reproachful glare. Consumer after consumer. And no.

In the opening moments of Sans Soleil, a cinematic essay and travel film made up of asides and digressions that form a portrait of late twentieth-century civilization, Marker takes us from rural Iceland in 1965 to Japan in the early 1980s, with fleeting references to Africa, Île-de-France, and the Bijagos Islands. “Ask what you can do for your country.”  Marker has an eye for ironies, cultural jokes, discontinuities, displacements. And for chimpanzees and those who march with them, the hand that is taught is always self-aware, through the echoes of that teaching.
