A SPELLBINDING NEW 4K RESTORATION OF PETER WEIR'S NEW WAVE THRILLER
This sensual and striking chronicle of a disappearance and its aftermath put director Peter Weir (DEAD POETS SOCIETY, THE TRUMAN SHOW) on the map and helped usher in a new era of Australian cinema. Based on an acclaimed 1967 novel by Joan Lindsay, PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK is set at the turn of the twentieth century and concerns a small group of students from an all-female college who vanish, along with a chaperone, while on a St. Valentine’s Day outing. Less a mystery than a journey into the mystic, as well as an inquiry into issues of class and sexual repression in Australian society, Weir’s gorgeous, disquieting film is a work of poetic horror whose secrets haunt viewers to this day.
