The Cars That Ate Paris

Rural Australia. Night. Headlights. A stranger, crumpled metal: arrival as imprisonment. The town feeds; twisted wreckage made routine. A young man struggles against the local order, but the road has its own designs. Weir's early black-comic vision of societal breakdown is ready for rediscovery.
