Aren Bergstrom Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I didn't have the energy to watch The Last Wave last night, so instead put on The Cars That Ate Paris, which left me baffled. It's a strange mix between a kind of kitchen-sink drama and Ozspoiltation. There are some interesting ideas bubbling beneath the surface of this film, but I'm not sure any of it comes together in a satisfying manner. Aside from the one (accidentally?) striking image of the police officer brandishing the door of his car with the word "pig" spray painted across it and wielding a bloody makeshift spear, I didn't find the film particularly invigorating. Anyone feel passionately about this film, either good or bad? I'm curious to hear what people's thoughts are. (Apologies if this thread already exists somewhere. I searched, but couldn't find one.)

Evan C Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 I saw it years ago, when I was trying to go through as many Peter Weir films as possible, and this was the only one I thought was actively bad. I just thought it was all over the place with too many ideas and sloppy pacing.
