Though often thought to advocate an "objective" cinema, Bazin instead proffered a "supernatural" conception of realism, one deeply invested in character interiority. This article brings together Bazin's writings with Deleuze's theorization of free indirect cinematic discourse to reconcile the hallucinatory ending of George Washington (David Gordon Green, 2000) with the neorealist paradigm.
