Description
Based on the classic novel by Joan Lindsay, "Picnic at Hanging Rock" is both sublimely spooky and majestically beautiful.
On St. Valentine's Day, 1900 - a beautiful summer's day - a party of virginal Australian schoolgirls from an exclusive finishing school giddily prepare for an excursion to Hanging Rock, a magnificent natural monument drenched in a mysterious atmosphere.
Boasting visually hypnotic photography by Oscar winner Russell Boyd, a haunting score by Bruce Smeaton and the timeless ethereal beauty of
Anne Louise Lambert as Miranda, this classic helped revive the Australian film industry and established director
Peter Weir (Dead Poets Society, The Truman Show, Master and Commander) as a major international talent.
