The Last Wave
1977, 105 mins
Dir. Peter Weir
Rated PG, Adult themes
When lawyer David Burton is assigned a case to defend a group of men, he is unprepared for the nightmares and dreamscapes ahead. Accused of murder, the men stand trial amidst suspicious circumstances and, as Burton becomes plagued by unsettling visions, he is drawn to a mysterious character for answers to his torment.
“It is one of the most mysterious and moody films to ever emerge from Australia.” – David Morgan-Brown (Cinema Australia)
“’The Last Wave’ speaks to the ever-widening gulf today’s world puts between us and our histories. It asks us to reconsider our perception that we understand how the world works while suggesting that any miscalculation could be catastrophic.” – Ande Thomas (What Sleeps Beneath)
