Picnic at Hanging Rock review

Twenty years after it swept Australia into the international film spotlight, Peter Weir's stunning 1975 masterpiece remains as ineffable as the unanswerable mystery at its core. A Valentine's Day picnic turns to disaster when a few young girls inexplicably vanish on Hanging Rock. A lyrical, meditative film charged with suppressed longings, Picnic at Hanging Rock is at long last available in a pristine, wide screen director's cut with a newly minted Dolby stereo soundtrack. Special features, on both versions: (1) The recently released director's cut of the film; (2) The original theatrical trailer; (3)Liner notes by Vincent Canby
