A new look at film that succeeds in combining the realist and
formalist sides of an ongoing debate. In Reality Transformed Irving
Singer offers a new approach to the philosophy of film. Returning
to the classical debate between realists and formalists, he shows
how the opposing positions may be harmonized and united. Singer
concentrates on questions about appearance and reality, the visual
and the literary, and the interplay between communication as a goal
and alienation as a hazard in films of every sort. In three
exemplary chapters, he provides suggestive readings of Woody
Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo, Luchino Visconti's Death in
Venice, and Jean Renoir's The Rules of the Game. Reality
Transformed will interest the general reader as well as students in
all fields related to film studies.
