  In Focus: Bruce Beresford
Bruce Beresford was one of the first filmmakers to openly embrace this opportunity, writing and directing two popular, crass 'ocker' sexploitation films, those being The Adventures of Barry McKenzie (1972) and Barry McKenzie Holds His Own (1974).
Bruce Beresford went on to direct Don's Party, which explored aspects of Australian sexual expression in a far more accomplished manner, aided by the fact that its script was based upon an acclaimed David Williamson stageplay.
Mr Beresford's critical and commercial success with the controversial work can perhaps be seen as a catalyst in assuring that many of his later works would be based on established literary pieces.

 SPLICEDwire | "Bride of the Wind" review (2001) Bruce Beresford, Sarah Wynter, Jonathan Pryce, Vincent Perez
After establishing Alma's magnetism in the early going, he seems to assumes it's a given that men readily fall in love with her, and as a result he does little to substantiate the chemistry between his heroine and any of her suitors.
After criticizing one of his compositions, Alma clearly becomes the arrogant Mahler's muse and collaborator, but in the early going she is established as such a free spirit it's hard to understand why she gives up her music to quell what amounts to his professional jealousy.
Beresford ends the film with the first public performance of Alma's music in 1919, but the woman lived and thrived until 1964.

 SPLICEDwire | "Evelyn" review (2002) Bruce Beresford, Pierce Brosnan, Julianna Margulies
"Evelyn" review (2002) Bruce Beresford, Pierce Brosnan, Julianna Margulies
With that guilt trip delivered, director Bruce Beresford ("Double Jeopardy," "Driving Miss Daisy") zooms obtrusively in on Quinn's face for a telegraphed reaction of empathetic recognition: The high-priced solicitor remembers that he once lost custody of his own kids in a divorce and rallies to our hero's aid.
Yet the good intentions, the strong story grounding "Evelyn" and the warm sense of Doyle's determination eventually do triumph over its extremely elementary storytelling -- which continues right up to the verdict, absurdly dragged out for bogus dramatic effect.
