...Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson and Colin Firth. I don't have any experience really. Talking to Liam, I would think, I wonder what Steven Spielberg does in this situation? I remember once saying to an actress at the end of the first take of a scene, "That was so brilliant. I didn't realize the scene was so serious. You brought a real profundity."

Australian novelist Peter Carey frequently finds inspiration in his country's rich social history. In True History of the Kelly Gang, he chronicled the exploits of the bushranger Ned Kelly. In Jack Maggs, he penned a brilliant fantasia about an Aussie convict crossing paths with Charles Dickens.

If you want something a bit more cult-like, a really interesting film is George Romero’s Season of the Witch (1972), which draws a straight line between the still nascent women’s movement and witch cults, as he portrays them...
