What does "philoso-fugal" mean?

What does "philoso-fugal" mean in the following sentence?

It seems to me that a consideration of Malick’s art demands that we take seriously the idea that film is less an illustration of philosophical ideas and theories—let’s call that a philoso-fugal reading—and more a form of philosophizing, of reflection, reasoning, and argument.
_{Simon Critchley, 'Calm — On Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line'}

The text is difficult to understand fully, but it appears to be a portmanteau of philosophical and fugal

fugal

: of, relating to, or being in the style of a musical fugue

fugue

1 a : a musical composition in which one or two themes are repeated or imitated by successively entering voices and contrapuntally developed in a continuous interweaving of the voice parts

b : something that resembles a fugue especially in interweaving repetitive elements

2 : a disturbed state of consciousness in which the one affected seems to perform acts in full awareness but upon recovery cannot recollect the acts performed

That leaves us with two possibilities: either this kind of film analysis is repetitive and contrapuntal and interwoven, or else it resembles a fugue state. Neither meaning obviously fits, but either one seems possible.

In case anyone else wants to take a stab at a broader analysis, the quotation comes from here: "Calm - On Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line"
