Movie buffs will appreciate Brian Beresford's book about film-making, writes Mike Crowl. THE BEST FILM I NEVER MADEAnd other stories about a life in the artsBrian BeresfordText PublishingBY MIKE CROWLThis is a bit of a bitzer book, but enjoyable for film buffs. It consists of articles by Australian film director Brian Beresford on his parents, on film, film-making, film-makers, music and art. And then there are the pieces that focus on the frustrations of getting a film financed — hence the book’s title — or on working with actors and technicians. Beresford has been fortunate to make movies with many top names in the film industry, despite starting out with more enthusiasm than training in the industry.
