A wickedly funny account of celebrity, Hollywood, and everything in between. What's it like to be a veteran director up against the machinations of modern-day Hollywood, with its self-absorbed stars, studio executives who think 'Singapore' is a made-up country, destitute producers posing as lords of finance - the mad, the bad and the downright notorious. Award-winning film-maker Bruce Beresford takes us through the highs and lows of the screen trade - from high-powered dinner tables to obscure backlots, from the centres of power to far-flung locations -- with a cast of characters that includes Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Jeffrey Archer, Steven Seagal, and many others. Delightfully literate and sharply observant, this is a highly entertaining insider's account of a rarely glimpsed world. Bruce Beresford has made some of Australia's best known and most interesting films, including Breaker Morant, Puberty Blues and The Adventures of Barry Mackenzie, and has had international success with Black Robe, Double Jeopardy and Driving Miss Daisy, which won an Academy Award. He lives in Sydney. This is his first book.

Bloody good read
By Dominic Hughes
A real warts-and-all diary and look inside the film industry. Beresford doesn't hold anything back here. The tortuous path to getting a film made is recounted many times as various projects are on, off, then on again over the course of a few years. It offers a fascinating insight into the film industry as a whole and the Australian film industry in particular. And backs up the saying that you've only accomplished something in the film industry when you can speak about it in the past tense.
Aside from Hartnett, there are plenty of other big names who come in for a mention. Some come out of it well, others not so well. I knocked this over in a day and was left wishing it went on further.
And for the record, I'm no latte-sipping leftie. Nor do you have to be to enjoy this book. After all, along with Driving Miss Daisy and Tender Mercies, this is the bloke who directed the Barry McKenzie movies, The Club and Double Jeopardy. He's hardly all highbrow and mighty.

Boring and Without Context For Your Average Film Buff
By mixed-berry
To say this this is a memoir is very misleading. It's really a compilation of bland diary entries from Beresford during the period before he directed The Contract with John Cusak and Morgan Freeman. The book swings from a laundry list of industry names that you wouldn't recognize unless you worked in the industry to condescending explanations that anyone who picked up this to read would be offended by. Who doesn't know Oscar voters get free dvds to watch? The truth is very few actors or other name directors are mentioned. There's no juicy stories other than this actor passed on a role, this actor can't make up his mind, this actor wants script changes. If you are looking for a tell-all, like I've seen this book described, don't bother. Also, don't bother if you aren't Australian or are familiar with Aussie film and culture. There are countless tv, film, theater, and celebrity references that the majority of Americans just won't get. Yes you can read past them but what's the point if you miss the touchstones. Alot of the book is Beresford's opinions on films and theater he saw during this period. If I learned anything from the diary it's that if Beresford hated a film, I at least liked it if not loved it, and vice versa.
To be frank I cannot see anyone, unless you are a diehard Beresford fan, taking the time to sit down and read each page thoroughly and completely. I skimmed each page waiting and hoping for an interesting story about anything and I never got one. And if you are curious about the title I will save you the trouble of buying the book. Beresford has a meeting with an excited and talkative Hartnett about doing a Chet Baker biopic. Months later after Beresford has finished a script he finds out Hartnett wants to do the movie, with someone else's script and only if Beresford does not direct. This kind of thing happens every day in Hollywood. Not nearly exciting enough to wade through over 300 pages to find out.

Not the best of its type
By DJ Arboretum
These extracts from Bruce Beresfords diary cover a period in the mid 2000s were he is trying to raise interest in a movie, almost any movie it seems. Most of the movies mentioned ended made by somebody else. Disapointingly there is only one day of filming included in the diary entries. I found the epilogue more interesting as told a bit about the filming of The Contract.
The diary entries do display some interesting personality quirks, for one Beresford seems obsessed about the price of meals, especially expensive ones where sonebody else is picking up the tab.
I did find some humorous moments, and I sure a proper memoir written with the reader in mind by Beresford would be worth reading. For a good example see Richard E. Grant's book about making the movie Wa Wa
