Leave your thoughts about The Last Wave.
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendricka unique film that bears the uneven, yet genuine, traces of a deeply felt work not entirely settled |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeIts creepiness is undeniable, and it seems far less dated than many late 1970s films. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatStartling and mesmerizing Australian film about aborigines, nature and dreamtime. |
| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonWeir's touristy vision is strictly from the outside looking in. |
| User ReviewAndrew UFascinating film by Peter Weir - his best, and possibly the best Australian film ever made. |
| User ReviewScott RProphetic, beautiful movie -- haunting and stays with you. One of the first films ever made with the participation of native Australian actors. |
| User ReviewJames CWell, first I'd just like to congratulate myself for being the only person to have ever commented on this movie... on Flixster, of course. This movie... was beyond words. Which makes it hard to write a review for. Personally, I loved it. But it's strange in so many dimensions that I can't think of anyone else who would like this. |
| User ReviewAnthony SOne of Peter Weir's first feature films.. very good |
| User ReviewMEC rcouldn't see much wrong with this one, plus the soundtrack is great |
| User ReviewTimothy MAs with Picnic at Hanging Rock, Weir's The Last Wave blends realism with hints of the supernatural to create a shocking vision of a world in which our traditional definitions of reality may be little more than illusions. The Last Wave is a beautifully filmed, creepy, surrealistic, and apocalyptic thriller that simultaneously explores aboriginal beliefs and the postcolonial state of Australia. Indeed, the film reveals Sydney to be a city that exists on top of aboriginal sites, sites that still exist below the surface like the various buried incarnations of Troy. A powerful critique of Western hegemony and postcolonial identity as well as story about a man's spiritual journey towards understanding. The Last Wave is a brilliantly original film that demonstrates the true potential of cinema. |
