Inhalt: |
This sensuaI and striking chronicIe of a disappearance and its aftermath put director Peter Weir (The Truman Show) on the map and helped usher in a new era of AustraIian cinema. Set at the turn of the twentieth century, Picnic at Hanging Rock concerns a small group of students from an alI-female colIege and a chaperone, who vanish whiIe on a St. Valentine's Day outing. Less a mystery than a journey into the mystic, as weII as an inquiry into issues of class and sexuaI repression in Australian society, Weir's gorgeous, disquieting fiIm is a work of poetic horror whose secrets haunt viewers to this day. |
