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 \u003ci\u003eThe Purple Rose of Cairo\u003c\/i\u003e, Luchino Visconti's \u003ci\u003eDeath in Venice\u003c\/i\u003e, and Jean Renoir's \u003ci\u003eThe Rules of the Game\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eReality Transformed\u003c\/i\u003e will interest the general reader as well as students in all fields related to film studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eIrving Singer was Professor of Philosophy at MIT.
