The Cars that ate Paris (1974) [Re-UP]

The Cars That Ate Paris is a 1974 Australian film. Directed by Peter Weir, it was his first feature film. Shot mostly in the rural town of Sofala, New South Wales, the film is set in the fictional town of Paris in which most of the inhabitants appear to be directly, or indirectly, involved in profiting from the results of car accidents. There are also themes of youth unemployment and old values vs new values and trying to cling to an unreal past in an Australia that never existed.
