B7310 BREAKER MORANT (AUSTRALIA, 1980) (Other Titles: Heros Ou Salopards; Staerke Viljer) B7310 BREAKER MORANT (AUSTRALIA, 1980) (Other titles: Heros ou salopards; Staerke viljer) Credits: director, Bruce Beresford ; writer, Bruce Beresford, Jonathan Hardy, david Stevens ; original play, Kenneth Ross. Cast: Edward Woodward, Jack Thompson, John Waters, Bryan Brown. Summary: War film set in South Africa in 1898. Trying to counter the guerrilla tactics of the Boers, three Australian enlisted men commit war crimes and are tried and convicted by their English commanders in a politically expedient court martial. Though based on a true story, the film was identified as a ‘Vietnam’ film in the Richard Maxwell article (below) for its obvious parallels with the more recent guerrilla conflict.

  • Bruce Beresford's Breaker Morant Re-Viewed
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 30, núm. 1 (2020) · ISSN: 2014-668X The Boers and the Breaker: Bruce Beresford’s Breaker Morant Re-Viewed ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract This essay is a re-viewing of Breaker Morant in the contexts of New Australian Cinema, the Boer War, Australian Federation, the genre of the military courtroom drama, and the directing career of Bruce Beresford. The author argues that the film is no simple platitudinous melodrama about military injustice—as it is still widely regarded by many—but instead a sterling dramatization of one of the most controversial episodes in Australian colonial history. The author argues, further, that Breaker Morant is also a sterling instance of “telescoping,” in which the film’s action, set in the past, is intended as a comment upon the world of the present—the present in this case being that of a twentieth-century guerrilla war known as the Vietnam “conflict.” Keywords: Breaker Morant; Bruce Beresford; New Australian Cinema; Boer War; Australian Federation; military courtroom drama. Resumen Este ensayo es una revisión del film Consejo de guerra (Breaker Morant, 1980) desde perspectivas como la del Nuevo Cine Australiano, la guerra de los boers, la Federación Australiana, el género del drama en una corte marcial y la trayectoria del realizador Bruce Beresford. El autor argumenta que la película no es un simple melodrama sobre la injusticia militar, como todavía es ampliamente considerado por muchos, sino una dramatización excelente de uno de los episodios más controvertidos en la historia colonial australiana. El director afirma, además, que Breaker Morant es también una excelente instancia de "telescopio", en el que la acción de la película, ambientada en el pasado, pretende ser una referencia al mundo del presente, en este caso es el de una guerra de guerrillas del siglo XX conocida como el "conflicto" de Vietnam.

I was with the second contingent for nine months and was promoted to sergeant in that corps. I received my commission when l transferred to the Transvaal Constabulary. I returned to England on six months' leave and with the help of my friend, Captain Hunt, patched up a quarrel, an old quarrel with my family. I had intended to go back to England to live after the war. On my return to South Africa, I fought at Karee Siding and Kunstadt under Lord Roberts. I also fought with General French's cavalry brigade at Diamond Hill. After that, there were requests for volunteers to join the Bushveldt Carbineers in the Northern Transvaal. I joined on April 1, 1900. April Fools' Day. In the Carbineers, I was responsible for the capture of Boer commando leader, Kelly. I was recommended for a DSO.

  • Racial Tragedy, Australian History, and the New Australian Cinema: Fred Schepisi's the Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith Revisited
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 28, núms. 1-2 (2018) · ISSN: 2014-668X Racial Tragedy, Australian History, and the New Australian Cinema: Fred Schepisi’s The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith Revisited ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978) broke ground in its native country for dealing bluntly with one of the most tragic aspects of Australian history: the racist treatment of the aboriginal population. Adapted faithfully from the 1972 novel by Thomas Keneally, the film concerns a young man of mixed race in turn-of-the-century Australia who feels torn between the values and aspirations of white society, on the one hand, and his aboriginal roots, on the other, and who ultimately takes to violence against his perceived white oppressors. This essay re-views The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith from the following angles: its historical context; its place in the New Australian Cinema; its graphic violence; and the subsequent careers of the film’s director, Fred Schepisi, and its star, Tommy Lewis. Keywords: The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith; Fred Schepisi; Thomas Keneally; New Australian Cinema; racism and colonialism Prior to the late 1970s, Australia was something of a cinematic backwater. Occasionally, Hollywood and British production companies would turn up to use the country as a backdrop for films that ranged from the classic (On the Beach [1959]) to the egregious (Ned Kelly [1970], starring Mick Jagger). But the local movie scene, for the most part, was sleepy and unimaginative and very few Australian films traveled abroad. Then, without warning, Australia suddenly experienced an efflorescence of imaginative filmmaking, as movies such as Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), The Getting of Wisdom (1977), My Brilliant Career (1979), and Breaker Morant (1980) began to be shown all over the world.

  • We See and All We Seem…” – Australian Cinema and National Landscape
    “All we see and all we seem…” – Australian Cinema and National Landscape Nick Prescott Note: The paper as envisioned in this abstract may prove too large in scope to fit within the parameters of the symposium. If this is the case, I propose not to explore those films I have called “transitional” in detail, but to allude to them as significant texts that can be explored elsewhere. The central argument I am making in this paper is that Australian filmmakers’ uses of “landscape” have changed significantly since the mid-1970s, and that this change can be meaningfully described by looking at what characterised 1970s Australian films’ depictions of landscape and contrasting that with current stylistic trends. In this paper I will argue that Australian feature filmmakers’ uses and depictions of “the Australian landscape” in their cinema have undergone a striking and important transformation since the 1970s, and that this transformation, while reflecting a developing and modulating sense of Australian cultural identity, has also been crucially linked with changes and developments in the Australian film industry itself, changes which relate to Government investment initiatives, increasingly complex production and co-production strategies, and, more recently, off-shore production by major Hollywood studios. During the 1970s, following the confluence of numerous different factors, there was an extraordinary revival of Australian film. The graduation of the first group of students from the newly-created Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS), was one factor; students like Gillian Armstrong and Philip Noyce left their studies and began to work in the industry, and settled alongside filmmakers like Fred Schepisi, Bruce Beresford and Peter Weir, who had entered the industry in other ways.

Aquest darrer, autor entre d’altres de l’oscaritzada Tot passejant Miss Daisy, ens visitarà per presentar algunes de les seves pel·lícules, com la inèdita entre nosaltres Ladies in Black (Senyoretes de negre, 2018), protagonitzada per Julia Ormond, Breaker Morant (1979), The Fringe Dwellers (1985) i Mao’s Last Dancer (2009).
