Peter Weir
Risk 82Film director
The mastermind who made Robin Williams stand on desks and convinced Jim Carrey his entire life was a TV show, Peter Weir has spent four decades crafting some of cinema's most unforgettable moments. From the eerie vanishing girls of Picnic at Hanging Rock to Russell Crowe battling the high seas, this Australian auteur collected six Oscar nominations before the Academy finally gave him a lifetime achievement award in 2022. At 81, the director who once asked "what if your whole world was fake?" now enjoys a well-earned retirement from Hollywood's reality.
