(1977) The Last Wave.

MYSTERY/ SOCIAL COMMENTARY.

Upon being chased by 5 aboriginals all over the city an aboriginal- like man then plumps to his death and it appears that no one has touched him. They're then arrested and is charged for murder on speculation. A lawyer played by Richard Chamberlain is then assigned to defend them and without any cooperation from the accused he then goes on an odyssey to seek out what really happened.

Directed by veteran director Peter Weir combining aboriginal myth interwoven into a story and unusually strange. Low budget but handled very well using rain as a kind of a correlation between what happened back then and what happened in the present.

3 out of 4 stars.
