If you loved The Year of Living Dangerously, try The Last Wave
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Peter Weir, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Year of Living Dangerously, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
What The Last Wave is
Sydney. Perpetual twilight. A drowned man. A corporate lawyer takes on a case defending Aboriginal men accused of murder. Torrential rains, waking nightmares, and tribal elders conspire to reveal a deeper, shared destiny. Weir’s sun-baked, rain-soaked mystery offers more than cheap thrills.
