{"product_id":"9781841504773","title":"Peter Weir: A Creative Journey from Australia to Hollywood","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Weir has been directing Hollywood films since his successful US debut, \u003ci\u003eWitness, \u003c\/i\u003ein 1985\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003eBut does this make him a Hollywood director? Or should he still be considered an Australian filmmaker as many scholars argue? \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor the first time, Weir’s entire three-decade creative journey from Australia to Hollywood is considered in light of the recent theories on transnational cinema and through a close examination of four key films: \u003ci\u003ePicnic at Hanging Rock, The Year of Living Dangerously, Witness,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Truman Show\u003c\/i\u003e The films’ analyses integrate original interviews with Weir and his closest collaborators, including Russell Boyd. The book concludes that Weir is both an Australian and a Hollywood filmmaker—and would be better seen as a transnational filmmaker whose success in the United States reflects the fact that he was already a “Hollywood” director by the time he relocated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intellect, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062177218800,"sku":"9781841504773","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781841504773_p0.jpg?v=1763740268","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781841504773","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
