		Schepisi’s direction of this sequence is illustrative, using a handheld camera to observe the proto-human in the maze of the lab, then turning 360° to give his field of vision, discovering him in a new position with a sense of dislocation, repeated throughout.
		Schepisi controls the mickey of the tale at the outset with a very well-filmed statement of the incident, in which a teetotaling Seventh-Day Adventist minister who likes to feed the dingos finds one of them has filched his infant daughter.
		Schepisi diffuses the mickey of the subsequent investigation, gossip and trials with myriad setups often less than a hundred frames in length, showing different aspects of the proceedings.

		Schepisi prefers to emphasize the celibate staff's problems with sex and drink, especially in a memorable scene in which priest Arthur Dignam spies on naked girls at a public swimming pool.
		Schepisi debated further Australian-based projects, but with the local industry's financial base crumbling in the financial freeze of the late 1980s, he returned to New York (though much of the film was shot on location in Moscow) to direct another in his growing string of high-budget international projects, John le Carré's The Russia House.
		Schepisi has evolved into a proficient director whose recent films, while made on big budgets with international stars, are for the most part not nearly as interesting as his early-career work in Australia.

	Last Orders, review of the Michael Caine film \| Movie Forum
		Fred Schepisi isn't a director that comes to mind when I'm asked to name a favorite, but looking at his filmography, I find myself surprised at how many I've seen and really like -- "The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith", "Plenty", "Roxanne", "A Cry in the Dark", "Six Degrees of Separation".
		In fact, there was supposed to be a question and answer session with Fred Schepisi and some of the actors, which was cancelled.
		It's a story at once very simple and also complex; Schepisi, as screenwriter and director, juggles each character's recollections and emotions as they work through their grief at Jack's death, and a lot of stuff (I mean a LOT) has to be waded through.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Last Orders" review (2002) Fred Schepisi, Michael Caine, Bob Hoskins, Helen Mirren
		They've have known one another so long they can be trading punches one minute and laughing with arms around shoulders the next.
		Schepisi does a fine job tying the time periods together, not just by casting fine young actors for the early flashbacks that look amazingly like their elder counterparts, but by capturing perfectly the same spirit within the ebb and flow of the characters' underlying zest for life in all the film's time periods.
		The fact that Reilly and Mirren seem to share the same soul at opposite ends of its happy but tumultuous life is exactly the kind of acting conjunction that makes "Last Orders" so noteworthy.

	It Runs in the Family
		Appalling at its best, Fred Schepisi's It Runs in the Family is a congenital disaster best described as an interminable episode of "Old People Say the Darndest Things".
		Between this and Last Orders, Aussie director Schepisi seems to desire cornering the market on gravid meditations on decrepitude and death.
		In a way, Schepisi's decisions can be seen as a devastating critique of the film itself, demonstrating as they do the idea that the picture is essentially an unsolicited invitation to share in the Douglas clan's desire to make a shrine to the Douglas clan.
