Director Peter Weir's "The Last Wave" (1977) is a surrealist psychological drama about the intersection of two very different cultures. Richard Chamberlain stars as a young Sydney tax lawyer with a wife, two young daughters and a very comfortable suburbanexistence. When he is asked to defend a group of Aborigines who have been accused of murder, however, his simple life is overshadowed by disturbing watery visions and ghostly sightings of the men involved in the murder. His dreams of the case become an obsession, and they foretell something worse than murder.
