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

Drawing on contemporary concepts from transnational cinema studies, this book investigates Weir's entire three-decade career, paying particular attention to his journey from his native Sydney, with its largely auteur-driven national cinema, to the miltimillion-dollar Hollywood film industry with its many genre conventions. Along the way, the author explores a host of questions accompanying this move, including Weir's status as a transnational filmmaker and a more generalised discussion of the critically controversial idea of the auteur. Rounding out this volume are interviews with leading Hollywood filmmakers who discuss Weir's work."-BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 173-193) and filmography (p. 195-202)ISBN: 9781841504773Contents: -- acknowldegments -- Introduction -- Migrations and transnationalism in the cinema -- Perspectives on Peter Weir -- Australian production context in the 1970s and early 1980s -- Peter Weir's four key steps from Australia to Hollywood -- Conclusions -- Bibliography -- Appendix 1: Filmography - main credits -- Appendix 2: Films made in Hollywood by Australian directors --URL status: URL: 'https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/rmit/detail.action?docID=1069409'

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.
