There have been experimental re-makes of (such perfect) films as Lumiere¹s
Arroseur arrosé, (Malcolm Le Grice) GA Smith¹s Miller & the Sweep (Jo
Millett & myself) and others ....?. Both originals having been plagiarised
in the distant past.

This re-making or rather re-contextualising is quite different to commercial
re-making, which in fact has a lot more in common with the nineteenth
century plagiarists. If Wavelength had been highly profitable then a
digital re-make - wide-screen, using CGI and shot across an expensive and
trendy loft space - would be the equivalent .
