Paperback. Condición: New. The Back of Beyond celebrates the life and times of Australia's best known outback mail man Tom Kruse MBE. Every fortnight he battled isolation, heat, sand dunes and floods to deliver mail and supplies to the families along the 517-kilometre Birdsville Track in central Australia. Representing the complex interrelations of the multicultural community and their environs, the film is considered by many to be one of Australia's premier films, and is an exemplary representation of 1950s Australian transformational culture. The Back of Beyond is the fifteenth title in the Australian Screen Classics series, co-published with the National Film and Sound Archive.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Mad Dog Morgan was a risky project on every level: artistic, financial, psychological and physical. What made the risks worth taking? What was at stake for the film's makers-and for Australian cinema? Released in 1976 at the peak of the Australian film revival, Philippe Mora's dramatisation of the bloody life and death of the nation's most infamous bushranger stands at the crossroads of multiple genres and trends: a violent action movie, an excavation of a traumatic colonial past, an antipodean variant on the 'acid Western', and a radical experiment with echoes of Bertolt Brecht and Jean-Luc Godard. Morgan himself is seen as a ruthless avenger, yet also a helpless victim-a paradox brought to life in the gonzo lead performance by Dennis Hopper, backed by an extraordinary supporting cast including Jack Thompson, David Gulpilil, Bill Hunter, John Hargreaves and Frank Thring. Jake Wilson's thoroughly researched book takes a fresh look at the historical Dan Morgan as well as the film's colourful production history and its significance in the wayward career trajectories of its director and star. Above all, it interrogates the creative risk-taking drive that made the film, like the man himself, into the legend that it is.…

Paperback. Condición: New. In 1880 the widowed, and mute, Ada (Holly Hunter) and her young daughter, Flora (Anna Paquin) leave their native Scotland and travel to New Zealand's remote South Island, as the arranged family of Stewart (Sam Neil), an Englishman who lives and works the land there. With them come Ada's piano which serves as her outlet of expression, her 'voice'. Despite fierce insistence from Ada, Stewart leaves the piano on the beach after he decides it is too heavy to carry back to his homestead. Stewart's neighbour Baines (Harvey Kietel) makes a deal with Stewart for the piano and lessons with Ada, which has dire repercussions for them all. The Piano, written and directed by Jane Campion, is one of the most honoured films of the new Australian cinema, and is considered by many critics to be a modern masterpiece. Campion won the Palme D'Or at Cannes in 1993 for the film, making her the first woman to win this prestigious award; it also won Best Original Screenplay (Campion), Best Actress (Holly Hunter) and Best Supporting Actress (Anna Paquin) at the 1994 Oscars.…

Paperback. Condición: New. 'Fish-faced moll', 'rooting machine', 'melting our tits off': with its raw, in-your-face dialogue, the film version of Gabrielle Carey and Kathy Lette's classic novel, Puberty Blues, has also become a cult classic. In this lively and honest account, writer and broadcaster Nell Schofield recalls how she won the role of Debbie and what it was like on the set. She looks at the parallels between the film, the book and her own surfside teenage years, and at the extraordinary response the film generated. It's a story as idiosyncratically Australian as the film that showed everyone who ever had any doubt that chicks can surf.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Fred Schepisi's film, The Devil's Playground, is an intimate portrait of a thirteen-year-old boy and the Brothers, living within the confines of a Catholic seminary. It is also the story of the Brothers and how they cope wih the demands of their faith. Made in 1976, this semi-autobiographical film established Schepisi as one of Australia's most talented directors and was one of the first Australian films to be selected for Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival. Christos Tsiolkas invites you into his twenty-five year journey of viewing, reviewing and re-imagining the film. He remembers his first illicit experiences of the film at age thirteen and describes how his views of it changed in later years. As he chronicles the impact of The Devil's Playground on the development of his sense of self and his love of cinema, he also explores the film in terms of sexuality, politics, history and aesthetics. Tsiolkas' account of what The Devil's Playground said, and didn't say, to him is a passionate tribute to the power and possibilities of cinema.…

Paperback. Condición: New. An illuminating tribute to Bruce Beresford's subversive and hilarious film The Adventures of Barry McKenzie, and its equally riotous sequel, Barry McKenzie Holds His Own, by cultural historian and documentary filmmaker, Tony Moore.

Paperback. Condición: New. In this thoughtful and thought-provoking essay, Andrew Frost contextualises the major thematic concerns of Rowan Woods' film The Boys into the broader context of social anxieties about violence, crime and morality. He chronicles his own personal journey with the film and its makers from art school to the underground Super 8 filmmaking scene of Sydney in the mid-1980s, and the early short films of Rowan Woods. Frost discovers new aspects of The Boys even today and wonders if its stinging moral message has been heard among the clamour of everyday suburban life.…
