Bruce Beresford on Film: Interviews, Chronicles, Statements

This is the first book to fully document Bruce Beresford's directing career-through interviews, a filmography, a bibliography, movie images, a contextualizing introduction, and a comprehensive index. Up to now, Beresford's career in Australia and America has largely been ignored, despite the fact that he has been working for five decades, directed two Academy-Award-winning films (Driving Miss Daisy and Tender Mercies), and collaborated with such stars as Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Sharon Stone, Jane Fonda, Glenn Close, Albert Finney, Pierce Brosnan, and Diane Keaton. In Bruce Beresford on Film: Interviews, Chronicles, Statements, Beresford's directing career finally gets paid the attention it deserves.

Bruce Beresford on Film: Interviews, Chronicles, Statements is aimed at cinephiles or film buffs, scholar-teachers, and students with an interest in world cinema (Hollywood included), in general, and Australian cinema in particular. The book is aimed, as well, at those educated readers with an interest in the practice of both film directing and arts journalism.
