Brilliant Creatures
BRILLIANT CREATURES is a two-part documentary series focusing on four
Australians – satirist Barry Humphries, art critic Robert Hughes, writer
Germaine Greer and writer and broadcaster Clive James – who left Australia
in the 1960s and became cultural icons, and sometimes iconoclasts, in
London and New York. To describe and dissect their individual and collective
stories, who better as a tour guide than Man Booker Prize–winner Howard
Jacobson, who first recognised them as a powerful intellectual force when
he met them some 50 years ago.
