The Goddess of 1967 is a 2000 Australian film directed by Clara Law, who wrote the script with her husband (and previous script collaborator) Eddie Ling-Ching Fong. The film is about a rich young Japanese man (Rikiya Kurokawa), who travels to Australia with the intention of buying a Citroën DS car (the goddess of the film's title—nicknamed the Déesse, after its initials in French, déesse being French for "goddess") that he has found for sale on the internet. Once there, things do not go as planned and he ends up on a road trip with a blind girl (Rose Byrne).
It won several awards, including Best Actress for Rose Byrne at the 57th Venice International Film Festival and best director at the Chicago Film Festival.
The song from the dance scene between BG and JM is "Walk-Don't Run" (the 1964 version) by The Ventures. The song is not included on the film's soundtrack, which contains the score by Jen Anderson.
