Review of Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) by Deanomite — 14 Jan 2020

I know it is the seminal Aussie movie (to me that is Mad max or Crocodile Dundee) and I know it is a great example of Impressionism through an Aussie lens. But, I don't get it, even after reading reviews of how great it is.

Maybe because the character development is so sparse and the plot so thin, this is just inaccessible to me. I love all of peter Weir's other works (Fearless, Truman Show and Master and Commander especially), but when watching this I cannot absorb it.

I give it a 7 for being an Impressionist painting in motion.
