ReviewsLos Angeles Times - ...Exquisite and seductive....Cinema at its most evocative....PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK remains a gorgeous-looking, superbly wrought cinema..., Entertainment Weekly - "...[It] wears the brilliant obscurity of a Dickinson poem and the suggestive force of a Magritte painting....[Offers] just the perfect beauty of its puzzle..." -- Rating: A, Empire - Haunting and compelling, New York Times - ...A hypnotic spell....A movie that is both spooky and sexy.
Additional InformationWhen a group of schoolgirls from an elite Victorian finishing school embark on a Valentine's day excursion to an unusual outcropping of volcanic rock, four members of the party are drawn towards the summit, where they experience powerful forces of time, nature, and eroticism, and vanish into thin air. This meticulously crafted Australian film displays a remarkable sense of eerie foreboding and lush surrealist sensibility, which have earned it a rabid cult following.

  • Strange and beautiful Austrailian film

    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.

  • Interesting film

    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.

  • Film without end

    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.
