A wickedly funny account of celebrity, Hollywood and everything in between.
What's it lie to be an Oscar-winning director up against the machination of modern-day Hollywood with its stars who want to write their own roles, producers who don't 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, was 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.
