And thank the Lord for Walter Murch! Even though we are instantly (from frame one!) complicit in the world of surveillance, the length of the shot also acts as a nice slope of experience taking us into Caul's world. And, beautifully, we are observing HIM, not one of his jobs, thus drawing attention to our own act of watching. Considering the film's themes, how could you do any better than that? Brilliant!
