What Picnic at Hanging Rock Is About

Peter Weir's 1975 film follows schoolgirls on a picnic from a boarding school in 1900. Three of them and a teacher disappear. They are never found. The film refuses to offer a solution; the narrative makes uncertainty and repressed sexuality its real subject. It is adapted from a novel. It is counted among the turning points of Australian cinema. The belief that it is based on a real event is mistaken. Who it's for: those who like atmospheric mysteries. Who it's not for: viewers expecting explanation; the film gives no answer.
