Watch this The Cars that Ate Paris and The Truman Show and note all the similarities. Remarkable example of directorial consistency that Peter Weir returns to so many themes, ideas and visuals 25 years later and in a Hollywood production.
shareYes I agree totally. Weir is what I call a cinematic director. His movies always shine. Some directors are plot driven. But watch Picnic at Hanging Rock or Fearless and you see that Weir is not beholding to the plot or script.
shareAnd both feature the great Terry Camilleri, who has been in three of Peter Weir's pictures.

Much as I'm a fan of Peter Weir and many of his films, I don't reckon there's much in the way of similarities at all ... thank goodness. IMO this is a pretty ordinary offering, though everyone has to start somewhere.🐭
