Few honestly deserve the title ‘living legend’. Bruce Beresford is one.
For more than half a century, the Sydney-born director has painted our screens with a diverse array of stories – from war epics (Breaker Morant) to coming-of-age dramas (Puberty Blues), star-studded actions (The Contract) to poignant biographies (Mao’s Last Dancer). Add to this his forays into theatre and opera, and it seems Beresford has done it all.
