A sufficiently large zoom compresses space to make things appear closer than they are. That's how photographers make the moon look gigantic on a vista. Add that along with extremely small aperture will create a look as if things are close and totally within focus to give a surreal look. The focal distance trick only really works if you have close foreground though.
