From: Peter Reiher <reiher@UCLA-CS> "The Last Wave" was directed by Peter Weir, an Australian. It came out in the mid 1970s (American release 1978, at a guess), and starred Richard Chamberlain and Gulpilil, an aborigine. Weir also directed "Picnic at Hanging Rock", a mystery/period piece with occult overtones, concerning a group of Victorian school girls who disappear on a mysterious Australian mountain. If you liked "The Last Wave", you'll probably also like "Picnic at Hanging Rock". His other films include "Gallipoli", which dealt with an ill fated WWI expidition, and recently "The Year of Living Dangerously", about the fall of the Sukarno regime in Indonesia during the early 60s.
