Whats it like to be an Oscar-winning director up against the machinations of modern-day Hollywood with its stars who want to write their own roles, producers who dont read scripts, highly dubious money men who promise unlimited funds: the mad, the bad and the downright notorious? In this no-holds-barred account Bruce Beresford takes us through the highs and lows of the screen trade from deals at dinner tables to dressing downs in backlots, from far- flung locations, to the centres of power, with a cast of characters that includes Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Jodie Foster, Jeffrey Archer, Morgan Freeman and many others. Delightfully literate and sharply observed, this is a candid look at the world of film-making from one of its most accomplished practitioners.
