Synopsis The seminal film from director Peter Wier which is an explosive mix of Victorian repression, supernatural unease and primitive longing. 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, Widescreen director's cut with a newly minted Dolby stereo soundtrack.

Customer Review Great Film Decent DVD - 3 out of 5  (8/9/2001) If you want a synopsis you can easily get that somewhere else. I intend on only talking about the DVD itself. Picture: Once again Criterion manages to pull off something quite amazing and that is to release a non-anamorphic transfer and still make it superb looking. That is probably the only gripe I have with this DVD's video quality. Weir films always have an amazing palette of colors and the DVD allows those colors to ring out true. There is only fair amounts of grain (if any) and ther   more >> Customer Review They Forgot the Beef - 3.5 out of 5  (2/23/1999) Ponderous and pretentious adaptation of a Joyce Wharton novel that is more a slumberfest than a picnic. The photography and haunting music offer some solace but this is every bit as hollow as Weir's The Truman Showman.   more >> Customer Review PETER WEIR'S MASTERPIECE - 4.5 out of 5  (12/30/1998) PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK is one of the movies Peter Weir shot in Australia before his Hollywood period.
