Abstract
This review focuses on Richard Rushton's The Reality of Film (Manchester University Press, 2011), a book that does not study filmic realism – film's representation of reality – but the innate reality of film. The book's main argument is that film's innate reality is a part of reality, not a representation of it. Rushton presents his case through a reading of the work of André Bazin, Christian Metz, Stanley Cavell, Gilles Deleuze, Slavoj Žižek and Jacques Rancière.
