	DVD Review: The Last Wave (Criterion)
		A satisfyingly tense and atmospheric 1977 picture from director Peter Weir, "The Last Wave" starts off with a rather wild scene; a powerful hailstorm pounds a schoolhouse in the middle of Australia, but there's not a cloud in the sky.
		VIDEO: "The Last Wave" is presented by Criterion in the film's original 1.77:1 aspect ratio; it is in anamorphic widescreen.
		Final Thoughts: "The Last Wave" is a haunting and well-acted piece that often hides rich intensity in its quietest moments.

	Last Wave
		Last Wave is a contemporary novel which treads the uncertain pathway between the rock of the predictable, daily routine of school and the hard place of the world of adulthood and responsibility.
		Last Wave dispels the myth, if it ever really was a myth, that surfers are laid back, bleached, blissed out and only concerned with catching the next wave.
		Last Wave goes into the raw truth behind the outer facade of the right gear and the right group and shows both Matt's physical and emotional pain in a graphic, no holds bared way, which is interesting and authentic right to the end, since the story is told from a teenager's point of view.

	DVD Savant Review: The Last Wave
		The Last Wave has the good sense to leave its mysterious content a mystery, concentrating on one man as the shape of his reality is irrevocably changed.
		By our culture's standard, the Aborigines of The Last Wave are uncooperative and unenlightened - but seem to be carrying an inner light that expresses itself on a different wavelength, a secret knowlege of great power that makes their tawdry material existence a minor irrelevance.
		Criterion's DVD of The Last Wave is yet another handsome, well-transferred disc made from original elements, that looks better than most of the 35mm prints shown in the states when it was new.

	Interview With Peter Weir: The Last Wave
		The Last Wave concerns a lawyer, played by Richard Chamberlain, who defends five aborigines accused of killing a sixth in Sydney, Australia.
		The driver hit the horn and we were heading back to the car and I had this feeling which lasted some seconds, that I was going to find something.
		In The Last Wave and Picnic at Hanging Rock you're concerned with the occult and the mysterious.

	Tabula Rasa: The Last Wave (1977) review
		The only people who can help him are the aboriginal youths he is defending on a murder charge, but there are deep secrets here, and help may not be necessarily what they or their elders have in mind.
		What allows The Last Wave to work, in my opinion, is that it remains true to this idea.
		And with a DVD release from Criterion, The Last Wave is readily available to soothe all those Sydney-siders who like me endured the summer of 2001-2002, wondering why the weather was so strange...

		And when summer ends, those who return to where the rogue wave decimated their friends will find that in tearing people from the land, the tsunami also wreaked havoc on the living coral in the sea.
		At many places along this great wave's path, coral heads, the growth of which over centuries and millennia had shaped to resist the incoming surge, were struck instead by an uphill avalanche as successive tsunami swells receded from the land.
		To those whose livelihood depended on the reefs until the Sunday before the New Year, the terrible beauty their metamorphosis holds for the next generation of surfers may be a gift from the cruel sea.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Last Wave (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		During the 1980s, The Last Wave was often paired at art-house theaters with The Wicker Man, and the films are, in many ways, very similar: Part mystery, part fantasy...
		Of the two, however, The Last Wave is a technically superior movie, even if Chamberlain's jaw-jutting, iconic portrayal serves to keep us a little bit too removed from the story.
		The Criterion Collection treats The Last Wave with the same tender, loving care it lavishes on all of their products: The new anamorphic transfer (1.77:1) is pristine, which may prove startling to those who had previously only seen well-worn reels of the film when it played in the above-mentioned art houses.

		Also the human wave thro' the wire was a TOTAL WASTE as the wave will just stop there, i.e., highest impulse MF.
		Also it would have been nice to keep our squads under human wave for more than 1 turn - all the jerry does is blow away at our leaders or at positions to deny our HWs.

	Monsters At Play: The Last Wave Review
		Criterion presents a brand spanking new transfer of The Last Wave, which is sure to please Weir fans across the globe.
		The Last Wave is one of those rare treats of a film, in which you are sure to be saying to yourself, I can't believe this film was made over 20 years ago.
		Extras include the original theatrical trailer (in which the announcer refers to The Last Wave as an "Awesome Nightmare") and a 10 minute interview with Weir which is quite fascinating, if not a bit too short.

	Images - The Last Wave
		There are stretches in The Last Wave in which it feels as if everything is about to be revealed, but then Weir pulls back from the edge, leaving us to guess at the possibility of what was to come.
		The Last Wave, which was written by Weir, Tony Morphett, and Petru Popescu, is about the sheer enormity of the unknown.
		The Last Wave is now available on DVD from The Criterion Collection in a new digital transfer, enhanced for 16x9 televisions.

	THE LAST WAVE
		The Last Wave is a deeply spiritual work, with its expository sections strongly reflected and reinforced by its more subtle associations, actions and hierarchies.
		The Last Wave is also beautifully structured, with key scenes repeated to reveal their latent importance: water running down the house’s steps, dad coming home to daughter framed in a dark doorway, the commuter carrying an indoor plant through the downpour.
		Dark the first time, The Last Wave is a masterwork of cinema that grows in depth and resonance with each successive viewing.

		The actor made quite a risky decision when it came to accepting a part in a script which before shooting began he described as "indeterminate," but became involved because he "liked the director's work so much, it was worth the gamble."

		Through it all, as he delves deeper into the life of the tribal aborigines, David is plagued by apocalyptic dreams in which the world is wiped out by floods.
		The Last Wave, though a thoroughly unique film, is much of a piece with Weir’s earlier work, the equally haunting Picnic at Hanging Rock.

	AboutFilm.Com - The Last Wave (1977)
		The Last Wave is similar to Weir's previous film, Picnic at Hanging Rock (watch for some of the same actors, including Vivean Gray and Tony Llewellyn-Jones).
		Both are explorations more than they are stories--explorations of the things Europeans have lost--their fear of and respect for nature, their contact with different ways of perceiving the world, ways that have nothing to do with science or reason.
		Perhaps this is because at the end of The Last Wave, there is only one possible interpretation, and the mystery is dispelled, while with Picnic at Hanging Rock, the mystery lingers long after the movie is finished.

		In this period of history in which native Hopi and Mayan prophecies predict the "end of history" and the purification of man leading to the Fifth World, The Last Wave, though 25 years old, is still timely.

		In The Last Wave, the keys to an enigmatic murder, as well as baffling disturbances in the weather, are gradually revealed to an Australian lawyer (Richard Chamberlain) within the shadowy, nomadic culture of aborigines living in and around Sydney who until now were presumed to be assimilated into its modern--and white--social fabric.
		In the process, Weir brings us toward an apocalyptic climax that is foreshadowed with a haunting series of events that cohere around water imagery, from an improbable drowning on dry land to downpours from cloudless skies, sudden hailstorms on the sere Australian land, and ghostly invasions of frogs.
		As a final note, The Last Wave probably deserves a thoughtful DVD release with a decent commentary track.
