Returning to the big screen to celebrate its 50th anniversary in a dazzling 4K restoration, Peter Weir’s (Dead Poet's Society) adaptation of Joan Lindsay’s novel has lost none of its mystique or mesmerising power.
On Valentine’s Day 1900, students from Appleyard College, a girls’ private school in Victoria, Australia, embark on a field trip to an unusual but scenic volcanic formation called Hanging Rock. Despite rules against it, several of the girls wander off. It’s not until the end of the day that the group realise that some of their party have mysteriously disappeared.
A significant influence on the work of Sofia Coppola (The Virgin Suicides, Priscilla), Picnic at Hanging Rock has become a landmark for its dreamlike exploration of the intensely romantic, yet profoundly unsettling, experience of girlhood and burgeoning sexuality. It’s a wonderful, haunting treat.
“A story of fear, desire, repression and the primal power of landscape” The Guardian
