I remember last seeing this film when it was made and loved the mystery of the story. It is also beautifully filmed - the Edwardian costumes are lovely - and Beethoven's sublime music is used to great effect. It was well worth seeing again.

I havent actually opened this as its a gift for my son, but its good value and looks nicely packaged; and I have seen the film before, so thats why i am able to comment on the film itself.

More a statement of possible facts no conclusion with strange music hinting at the supernatural . Plus a headmistress last seen in Saint Trinians but on that occasion played by a man.

Creepy, fascinating and ultimately tragic tale about a group of Australian teenagers from a posh girls' boarding school going on an outing in 1900 during which several disappear. It is widely believed by film fans that this is a true story but it is not. The author of the original book always refused to reveal where the idea came from but simply said some of the story was based on fact and the rest was fiction - but she refused to say which was which. It's a very atmospheric, dream-like film, with great pan pipe music and brilliant photography. Rachel Roberts is superb as the cold-hearted owner of the girls' school facing ruin because of the mysterious goings-on at Hanging Rock. P.S. A Director's Cut of this film is available but it is slightly shorter than the original - although the Extras that come with it are very interesting and worth seeing.Read full review
This is my favourite film of all time. The photography and soundtrack are superb, capturing the mysterious and powerful atmosphere of the sinister rock perfectly. The acting is wonderful and the film transports you back to a different time - a time when British girls were ladies yet still preoccupied with the same issues faced by girls today. This film makes you think and leaves you wondering - absolutely captivating.
