A theoretical analysis of how the temporal experience is modulated in cinema to accommodate the cognitive possibilities of narrative.

The second of a two-part 'Bazinian' analysis of cinephilia which explores the 'love of cinema' from the perspective of a philosophical search for truth. What does it mean when one expresses a 'love' of cinema? Can this love be a genuine form of reflection, a valid source of one's human expression?
