..". a valuable and important book..." The Year s Work in
Critical and Cultural Theory
Representing Reality is the first book to offer a conceptual
overview of documentary filmmaking practice. It addresses numerous
social issues and how they are presented to the viewer by means of
style, rhetoric, and narrative technique. The volume poses
questions about the relationship of the documentary tradition to
power, the body, authority, knowledge, and our experience of
history. This study advances the pioneering work of Nichols's
earlier book, Ideology and the Image.
" Nichols] has written a road-block of a book which reconfigures
the debate on the documentary at a new level of sophistication and
complexity which can only be ignored at the risk of ignoring the
whole area of documentary film." Sight and Sound
..". the most important book on documentary film yet published."
