Director, Producer, Screenwriter Born: June 19, 1949 in Hartney-Witney, Hampshire, England Biography:Director "John Duigan" first attracted attention with such low-budget films as "The Trespassers" (1976) and "Mouth to Mouth" (1978), which he also wrote and directed. These films were centered in Duigan's adopted homeland of Australia, but their theme of youthful alienation and confusion struck a universal chord. Duigan's "The Year My Voice Broke" (1988) is perhaps the best of his many explorations of the painful coming-of-age process; its sequel, the 1991 "Flirting" was similarly effective in its portrayal of disaffected teens in love.
Duigan also varied his subject matter with "Romero" (1989), a heartfelt but objective biography of controversial Salvadorian clergyman Oscar Romero, and "Wide Sargasso Sea" (1992), an adaptation of "Jean Rhys"' tale of madness and seduction. In 1994, Duigan won acclaim for "Sirens", a likably erotic story of artistic expression in the Australian Outback of the 1920s... Full Biography
