The Sydney Opera House

The documentary tells the story of Sydney Opera House architect Jørn Utzon's unique gift, brought to the world with the unending support of Lis, the love of his life. His story is told by the people who were closest to him: his children, close colleagues and friends, who share their open, honest anecdotes and experiences of him as an architect and a man. The film is a portrait of a devoted humanitarian and a sensitive and loving soul.

Jorn Utzon, acclaimed architect of the Sydney Opera House, tells the story of the design and construction of his masterpiece.

THE DREAM OF PERFECTION is as extraordinary as its provocative subject matter, the dramatic story of the building of the Sydney Opera House, culminating in Utzon's departure from the project. Director John Weiley was commissioned in 1968 to make the documentary Autopsy on a Dream by then BBC2 controller David Attenborough, and following its only screening on the BBC, it was destroyed - literally chopped to pieces on the chopping block. Miraculously, a mute print of Autopsy on a Dream was rediscovered in a BBC vault this year, and has now been restored with sound saved by John Weiley, and with a new prologue. The film features interviews with David Attenborough, Jan Utzon, Lin Utzon, and Richard Neville.

For 45 years, the controversial 1968 BBC film Autopsy On A Dream was thought to be lost. But miraculously, a copy was discovered in the vaults of ABC Television by a researcher working on content for the 40th Anniversary of the Sydney Opera House. In 2013 the film was screened at the Sydney Opera House and aired for the first time on Australian television. The screening was introduced by a new prologue The Dream Of Perfection which chronicles the drama behind the making of the 1968 film.
