HOW TO BE A BETTER NEIGHBORN ST EP # 2 : Recycle Bin Peter Weir's 'Fearless' style unmatched, underappreciated

Director Peter Weir has made many fine films, including “Witness,” “I3ead Poets StKiety” and “The Truman Show.” Some believe that the Australian films Weir made before coming to Hollywood are his best. When you get the chance, try “Picnic at Hanging Rcx;k," “The Last Wave” or “Gallipoli.” Weir’s most powerful film may be his least known; “Fearless.” This is a moving but unsentimental movie with a meaningful subject, a gripping story and convincing performances by Jeff Bridges, Rosie Perez and BABBUA ' l l ^ Isabella Rossellini.
