The Last Wave
`77
August 4 - 24, 2017
An ancient—and very wet—doomsday prophecy comes to pass in Australian New Waver Peter Weir’s hallucinatory murder mystery-cum-apocalyptic chiller.
Opening with the uncanny sight of a sunny, cloudless sky erupting into a torrential ice storm, Australian New Waver Peter Weir’s hallucinatory follow up to Picnic at Hanging Rock is part murder mystery, part apocalyptic chiller. When he agrees to defend a group of Aboriginal men charged with homicide, a Sydney lawyer (Richard Chamberlain) is plunged into a shadow world of secret societies, shamanic rituals, and an ancient doomsday prophecy. And then the black rain starts to fall… Surely one of the wettest films ever made—nearly every frame is drenched in ominous, aqueous imagery—The Last Wave sustains an air of dream-state dread as it builds towards its brain-bending climax.
