It is behind some of the most striking films of the modern cinema, where criticism and society evaluate, accumulate almost 30 Oscar nominations. However, since 2010, Peter Weir has not set a movie set. And according to several sounds in Hollywood, two big stars can be partially responsible for this silence.
A reasonable but inevitable filmmaker
Its name may not be resonant as strong as the most advertised directors, but Peter Vir An indisposed print left in the history of cinema. Last year he was awarded the Honorable Golden Lion in Venice Mostra, an Australian filmmaker built an impressive filmography, with basic works such as a circle of lost poets, a trumanian show or master: on the other side of the world. His talent has passed for decades and its influence has been recognized beyond Australia.
He offered a different Harrison Ford
Among his many striking cooperation that Harrison Ford holds a special place. Witness (1985) and the mosquito coast (1986), Peter Vir The actor offered more complex and deeper roles than her usual action characters. Ford himself said that The mosquito coast He was his favorite movie among all those who are in his long career.
“” “I would do a continuation in the blink‘Eye“, Also said the actor Times.

The gradual disappearance of the cinematic landscape
In spite of successes, Peter Vir He did not realize anything after Chemins de la Liberté (2010), a sad drama on Soviet prisoners. This long absence has led to many questions. Actor Ethan Hawk, who was very young with him A circle of lost poetsSurprising Hypothesis: He said Vere had bored tensions with certain actors, such as Johnny Depp or Russell Kroow.
In an interview with IndieWire in 2022, Hoki said: “I think he has lost any interest in cinema. He really liked this job when he had no actors who had problems with him. Russell Crowe and Johnny Depp broke him. He is such a rare, popular artist these days. It creates consumer films that are artistic. You need Jim Kerry or Russell Kroow to have a budget for a truman show or master and order. I think Harrison Ford and Gerard Depardyu were his actors. They were in favor of directors and did not consider themselves important.»

In front of these accusations, Peter Vir He wanted to clean things. In an interview with Sydney Morning in 2022, he said he was surprised by the wordsEthan Hawk : “I had to come out of this quote from Ethan. I find confusionHe said.
With regard to the future behind the camera, he added with a touch of philosophy: “For the film directors, as for the volcanoes, there are three main stages: active, dormant and extinguished. I think I reached the second! There is another generation there that I wish to scream “action” and “coupe” and their success.»

Finally, during the tribute that he had just paid for Cinémathèque Française, he eventually gave a more direct answer: “Why did I stop cinema? Because I just had no energy.»
Without an official statement or the last major project, Peter Vir It seems to have gently retired, leaving a strong, demanding, and deeply human activity. If he never returns, his legacy will remain intact.
To revise some of his works, go to the flow platforms: Cercle Des Poets are missing (re -discovery) Disney+ and Netflix. Otherwise, there is also Master & Order to find a prime video.
