CGiii Comment

Skillful and subtle.

The quintessential girls school film - the epitome of restrain and unease.

The incongruous pan pipes is a masterstroke...listen to them disappear.

Haunting and beautiful.

Weir has a very impressive portfolio - he is an impressive director.

The(ir) Blurb...

Three students and a school teacher disappear on an excursion to Hanging Rock, in Victoria, on Valentine's Day, 1900. Widely (and incorrectly) regarded as being based on a true story, the movie follows those that disappeared, and those that stayed behind, but it delights in the asking of questions, not the answering of them.
