The article is an informative read, particularly where Elder appears to be pre-empting the influx of 'period pieces' which came about in the Second-Wave of the Australian Cinema in the late 70's. Appearing to rebuke such sentimentalism held within the Australian ethos, Elder states that "..it's about time someone started looking at some of the components of our multi-faceted urban lifestyle"(1040). |
| Synopsis |
In his review, Elder states that 'The Cars That Ate Paris' has received universal and serious acclamation doing more for the Australian film industry "...than any wagon load of Bazza films of 'Alvin Purples' could ever have done"(1040).
Elder hails plot of the film especially for its celebration of Australianness, stating that as a "...familiar sub-horror theme of an isolated psychopathic community, the plot never gets bogged down in formulae and uses its nationality and unusual production conditions as a real virtue"(1040).
