Review of Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) by Allan C — 10 May 2014

Well crafted mystery with hints of supernatural about a turn of the century girls school outing into the Australian outback, where three of the girls and a teacher all mysteriously disappear. It's an intriguing film and unfolds in a nearly hypnotic and dreamlike fashion under director Peter Weir.

However, I also found the film rather slow and ponderous, but the story, atmosphere and intriguing outback setting are enough to carry the day. Well worth watching.
