"text": "The specter of pseudorealism raises the crucial issue of how Bazin’s theory of total cinema relates to the current fascination with immersive media, both as an ongoing technology and a historical tradition. […] While Bazin never directly states this, I believe that it was precisely the stimulation (and simulation) of sensation that Bazin associated with pseudorealism, with trompe l’oeil, with that aspect of the image that he opposed to his ideal of realism and designated as a trick, an illusion—a deceit.",

[…] While Bazin never directly states this, I believe that it was precisely the stimulation (and simulation) of sensation that Bazin associated with pseudorealism, with trompe l’oeil, with that aspect of the image that he opposed to his ideal of realism and designated as a trick, an illusion—a deceit.",
