 BRUNO: The Bruno Lawrence Story - Catalogue - Canterbury University Press - University of Canterbury
From the 1950s until his untimely death in 1995 Bruno Lawrence was an enduring popular culture figure on both sides of the Tasman.
But Bruno also enjoyed an international reputation, with roles in feature films like Smash Palace, Utu and The Quiet Earth as well as major roles in television programmes such as Frontline (which propelled him to fame in Australia), and several academy awards.
Yet this is no hagiography, for author Booth also explores Bruno's excesses, his improvidence and minor criminal activities (starting with the theft of a saxophone at age eight, and its redeeming aftermath).

 An Ambivalent Archetype: Masculinity, Performance and the New Zealand Films of Bruno Lawrence
The period of Lawrence's stardom - the early 1980s to the early 1990s - was a time of crisis and change for the New Zealand Pakeha (white European) male and Lawrence's developing persona was a key focus through which those changes could be registered and considered.
It is this complexity that Lawrence brings to his performances, which have an insistent physicality, both violent and tender, coupled with the ability to project a deep and unsettled interiority, as if his characters are haunted by a sense of other desires and aspirations that they cannot articulate.
Covering Bruno Lawrence's eighteen New Zealand feature films this is the first critical study of the career of an actor who was bound up with the revival of the New Zealand cinema.

The "last man on Earth" sci-fi sub-genre is reasonably well represented by director Geoff Murphy's The Quiet Earth, a 1985 film from New Zealand that earned plenty of Kiwi kudos in its day but still fails to measure up to the great expectations engendered by its premise.
Bruno Lawrence is Zac Hobson, a techie who's involved in "Project Flashlight," a vast energy grid that allows war planes to circle the planet without ever refueling (leave it to "the Americans," who are blamed for the whole ensuing mess, to come up with such a diabolical idea).
When what Zac drolly describes as "a malfunction" (thereafter known as "the Effect") occurs early one morning, he awakens to discover that he's apparently the only survivor, human or otherwise, of a catastrophe that has altered the very fabric of the universe.
