- catalog abstract "The Films of Peter Weir examines the Australian director's short films and feature productions since 1970. Analysis of the films is based on the identification and interpretation of recurrent meaning structures and the tracing of stylistic and thematic continuities across the filmmaker's career. Weir has worked in Australia and Hollywood, and this study includes the circumstances of production, recognition of the contribution of the director's collaborators, and analysis of texts used as sources or allusions from literature and the visual arts. Close textual analysis of the Weir canon, contemporary Australian and American films, and past genre cinema provides interpretative keys to Weir's films. In tracing the varied artistic and cultural references in these works, the author offers a personal reading of them, based on the recurrence of stylistic and thematic features and reinforced by the director's comments in interview.".
