After the death of his brother on the road, unemployed and unstable drifter Arthur Waldo stays for a while in the rural Australian town of Paris as the guest of the mayor, who hopes he will become a permanent member of the Paris population. Arthur soon realizes the quaint hamlet has a sinister secret: they orchestrate car accidents and rob the victims. Survivors are brought to the local hospital, lobotomized, and used for a local doctor's experiments.

What an odd film. This is my third Peter Weir film and I'd say that this Australian folk horror/dark comedy is unsettling in a way that I wasn't expecting. This takes genre conventions and pitches them out the window for a unique and clever approach at small town occult horror. It has a very bizarre tone that makes it strangely compelling and laced with pitch black sense of humor that's terrifying to think about. It's quite slow and mostly reliant on atmospherics to move the film along, but it's effective and it comes with bizarre characters and has some good mystery to it. A really good film overall, I'd definitely recommend.
