That which surrounds the narrative is what really matters. The progress of Kohen’s travels is interrupted by film reviews and analyses written by fictitious critics with names concocted from slight alterations to the names of the living. These analyses generally involve a film by the title of Femme de Siecle, a film directed by Kaganof’s previous embodiment, Ian Kerkhof, as a homage to the Spanish director, Jesus Franco. The film does exist. A crystalline meditation on the feet of a girl as she ascends a staircase to indulge in vampiric fellatio. The film being analysed though, does not bear any relation to the film as it exists and references all manner of other Kaganof/Kerkhof productions, including those, which do not exist.
