The issue of cinematic realism is of utmost importance as it delves into the intricate relationship between representation and reality. If certain forms of representation align more closely with reality, it stands to reason that cinematic representations may also exhibit a similar level of closeness.

By meticulously examining the striking similarities between the film image and visual perception, Aitken sheds light on the diverse theories of realism that have sought to unravel the intricate relationship between films and reality.
