Dermody and Jacka provide an absorbing account of the diegesis of 'The Cars that Ate Paris' and the miens it conveys.
Pages 77-78 give a very brief account of how the Australian theatre revival (and its 'ockerism') influenced the 'First phase' of the Australian film revival.
Page 86 Briefly mentions 'Stork' as being linked to the Melbourne theatre revival. |
| Synopsis |
Describing 'The Cars that Ate Paris' as the first of a legion of 'car crash movies', they cite how diegetically "..the entire economy of Paris is dependent on the car"(95).
Then continue attribute Weir's film as a cautionary allegory for "..something deeply embedded in the Australian ethos, that we would die without our cars, and to prove the point we daily risk dying in them"(95). |
