Though not regarded as an 'auteur' in many circles, Mr Beresford's films often focus upon exploration - the exploration of self, of a nation, of a new land - and of clashing cultures - whether it be social classes (ie Don's Party, The Adventures of Barry McKenzie) or races (The Fringe Dwellers, Black Robe, Paradise Road). In this, he shares an interest with Peter Weir, a fascination that is present in the oeuvres of many Australian filmmakers and writers, stemming perhaps from the nation's vibrant though tumultuous multicultural heritage.
