The British Film Institute is preparing a combo pack release of Peter Weir's The Cars That Ate Paris (1974), starring Terry Camilleri, John Meillon, Kevin Miles, Bruce Spence, and Melissa Jaffer. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market in late May.
Description: While travelling across Australia in search of work, two brothers collide with an oncoming car. The sole survivor is taken in by the residents of the nearby small town of Paris, but their strange behavior—and the alarming number of road accidents in the area—quickly unsettles him. It soon becomes clear that the town's feral youth rule the streets at night in souped-up cars, and the local hospital is overflowing with brain-damaged crash victims.
Shot in widescreen on Panavision cameras, Peter Weir's (The Truman Show, Dead Poets Society) debut feature is a biting satire of small-town life. It was also one of Stanley Kubrick's favorite films and a direct inspiration for George Miller's Mad Max series.
This Limited Edition two-disc set also includes Peter Weir's The Plumber. This made-for-television psychological thriller follows an anthropology student and her husband whose lives are disrupted when an overly familiar plumber begins intrusive 'repairs'.
