Excellent piece. As Siegfried Kracauer documented in "From Caligari to Hitler", film is trying to tell us something. Film is not only a container of time, but what can keep us in time once once Pi's finitude is found and the mystery of the primes made silly and self-evident by the unNoahing deluge we'll deconvolute with increasing computational hubris.

Wieder mal ganz hervorragend, alle Achtung! Zuerst dachte ich, es würde auf so eine Art schlankes Bustos-Domecq-Stückchen hinauslaufen, aber es geht natürlich weiter. Doch wenn Film-als-Zivilisation nur ein müder, grauer Pappkamerad ist, eine Attrappe angesichts des Großen Bewusstseins – in welchen Fällen (und aus welchen Gründen) ist die Attrappe dann besser geeignet als das Original?

I don't follow you super closely, but while your on your whole extinction kick, you should check out Vortex. It's a harrowing journey of death and decay, and it's a much better film than Memoria IMHO.
