Review of Picnic at Hanging Rock

This film is a rare gem in that it weaves a spell on the viewer and transports them to a place afar. One can almost imagine oneself on a beautiful summer's day having a picnic with a large rock mountain beside in the background. There is a sense of an abundance of time, of calmness, tranquility and utter relaxation. The tragedy of the disappearance of some schoolgirls and their governess in the midst of this idyllic bliss is profound and shocking.

Wonderfully scripted, consumately acted and breathtakingly directed, this is a film for the ages.

And the one thing this film and all great films have in common?

Simplicity, less is more, and no gimmicks.

Thank You to all in the making of this wonderful gem....
