Long Sentences...Long Scenes...

Reading Summer in Baden-Baden, reading the introduction, Sontag saying that Tsypkin was into Antonioni (but not Tarkovsky), then reading these incredibly long sentences got me thinking about Antonioni's The Passenger, its final scene, an unbroken, long shot that last like eight minutes, and then being reminded of a quote about slow cinema, "Magnification of time permits our understanding of it," which is from a talk given by Christopher Holliday.
