Ray Lawrence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ray Lawrence is an Australian film director. He was born in England and moved to Australia at age 11. All his films are made in Australia with predominantly Australian casts. He has made only three films in two decades, yet they have been some of the most critically acclaimed works in Australian cinema during that time. He is famous for his insistence on "complete creative control", one-take shoots and use of natural light. He makes commercials in between films.
His films are:
- Bliss (1985), based on the Peter Carey novel of the same name
- Lantana (2001), Andrew Bovell's adaptation of his play, Speaking In Tongues, which won seven AFI Awards
- Jindabyne (2006), based on Raymond Carver's short story, So Much Water So Close to Home
