Cars That Ate Paris R2 (Uk Import) - Weir, PeterReleasedatum: 30 juni 2003
Peter Weir's first film is a surreal and fantastic horror. An outstanding hit at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival and a landmark in Australian film-making it remains a cult classic. On the outskirts of the small town of Paris, cars crash with alarming regularity. Arthur (Terry Camilleri) survives one such accident and becomes a prisoner of Paris although he's unaware of his predicament as the town has provided him with something he's never had – a family. But these crashes are far from accidents. The townspeople have been laying traps for passing traffic – the dead are disposed of and the injured are stored for medical experimentation. Paris lives off cars – spare parts are their currency – however the source of their livelihood soon turns against them and the cars have their revenge. The town's youth launch a terrifying attack using their bizarre, customised, souped-up hot-rods as deadly weapons. The town that lives by the car, shall die by the car!
