This was long ago before Mel went around the bend.

"The story is about a love affair set in Indonesia during the overthrow of President Sukarno. It follows a group of foreign correspondents in Jakarta during the weeks leading up to the attempted coup by the 30 September Movement in 1965. The film is considered one of the last in the Australian New Wave genre." (Mad Max, Road Warrior, Gallipoli, Breaker Morant, Crocodile Dundee, etc.) From Wikipedia
