5 Scorsese continues: ‘When you see dancers move on stage, the depth between their bodies allows you to see a fluid sense of the visual field they are moving in. The only thing that approximates that in 2D cinema is camera movement. Add to that the illusion of depth and you have something that is not simply a flat image but something that opens up to infinite possibility.’ Quoted in Pennington, Adrian and Giardina, Carolyn, Exploring 3D: The New Grammar of Steroscopic Filmmaking (Oxford, 2012), 3 Google Scholar.
