Though there is one person who suggested "The Lathe of Heaven" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081036/ Though my memory of "The Lathe of Heaven" doesn't match your description. Bill -- Psst...

"The Lathe of Heaven" is definitely not it. Gus

I am constantly amazed by just how good "The Hive Mind" is at coming up with correct results on impossibly skimpy data like this... Too bad they're not as good at fixing bugs in open source things...

> The "Quiet Earth" trailer looks spot on. Just came to my mind "One Night Stand (1984)", film I saw in 1984.. Also apocalyptic; almost the same year filmed; also from "down under" and based on the place; also very few artists involved.
