ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
On Saturday, February 14th, 1900, a party of schoolgirls from Appleyard College took a trip to Hanging Rock near Mt. Macedon in the state of Victoria. During that idyllic sun-drenched afternoon some of the party left the rest of the group and, having climbed higher, stopped to rest and fell asleep. They awoke as though still in a dream and silently ventured further through a passage in the imposing rock face. Some of the girls were never seen again.
The film that established Peter Weir as a major filmmaker is a critically acclaimed classic of Australian cinema. With BAFTA-winning photography and a memorably haunting score, "Picnic At Hanging Rock" remains one of the most chillingly atmospheric and beautifully enigmatic films ever made. |
