Talking in the Library Series 1 - Bruce Beresford

Bruce Beresford is the Australian film director who transformed the film industry in his own country with the Barry Mackenzie films, consolidating the breakthrough with The Getting of Wisdom, Breaker Morant and Don's Party. He went on to become one of the most adventurous international directors. No matter how big the financial hit - Driving Miss Daisy or Double Jeopardy - he will always follow it with something risky, even suicidal. He is also a funny talker, who has been amusing me since we were students together more than forty years ago.
