From Joan Crawford and Bette Davis to Laverne Cox and Michelle Yeoh, these women disrupted and redefined the female ideal by pushing boundaries, fighting gender stereotypes and transcending tired tropes.
Goddess examines cinema history through a feminist lens, charting the evolution of women’s on-screen representation and challenging dominant narratives and misconceptions. Contributors, including film critics, actors, podcasters, journalists and academics, share behind-the-scenes stories and celebrate some of cinema’s most memorable female characters at a time when the film industry is undergoing a long-awaited reckoning. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781760763466

Peter Weir : when cultures collide / Marek Haltof New York: Twayne, 1996.
Call No: 81WEI HALAuthor: Haltof, Marek Place: New YorkPublisher: TwaynePubDate: 1996PhysDes: xviii, 174 p. : ill. ; 22 cmSeries: Twayne's filmmakers seriesSubject: WEIR, PETER ; PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK (AT, Peter Weir, 1975) ; GALLIPOLI (AT, Peter Weir, 1981) ; YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY, THE (AT, Peter Weir, 1982) ; DEAD POETS SOCIETY (US, Peter Weir, 1989) ; LAST WAVE, THE (AT, Peter Weir, 1977) ; WITNESS (US, Peter Weir, 1985) ; MOSQUITO COAST, THE (US, Peter Weir, 1986) ; GREEN CARD (AT/FR, Peter Weir, 1990) ; FEARLESS (US, Peter Weir, 1993) Summary: During the course of his twenty-odd-year filmmaking career, Peter Weir has accomplished what so many of his protagonists have failed to do: he has become an accepted, integral part of an unfamiliar culture. At the core of most of his films and at the least peripheral to all of them is the idea of the outsider trying - and ultimately failing - to come to terms with a culture vastly different from his own. Weir, a native of Australia whose name was synonymous with Australian cinema in the 1970s, turned to American filmmaking in the 1980s and never looked back. In Peter Weir: When Cultures Collide, Marek Haltof traces Weir's journey from intensely Australian filmmaker to successful Hollywood director, along the way finding surprisingly consistent evidence of Weir's thematic and visual interests despite dramatic changes in his choices of story and localeNotes: Filmography: p. 158-167; Includes bibliographical references (p. 139-157) and indexISBN: 0805792449 (paper : alk paper); 0805778438 (cloth : alk paper)Order Received: 1997LON: 96027580; 12664203

Although Weir (b. 1944) has acquired a reputation of being guarded about his life and work, these interviews by archivists, journalists, historians, and colleagues reveal him to be a most amiable and forthcoming subject. [...] Interviews discuss Weir's diverse and impressive range of work - his earlier films 'Picnic at Hanging Rock', 'The Last Wave', 'Gallipoli', and 'The Year of Living Dangerously', as well as Academy Award-nominated 'Witness', 'Dead Poets Society', 'Green Card', 'The Truman Show', and 'Master and Commander'. This book confirms the trajectory of Weir's life and work parallels and embodies Australia's quest to define and express a historical and cultural identity." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes chronology and filmography for Peter Weir's work; includes indexISBN: 9781617038976Contents: Foreword by David Thomson -- Introduction: "unmet friends": encounters with Peter Weir -- Chronology -- Filmography -- Peter Weir: reclaiming a Sydney boyhood: John C.
