Picnic At Hanging Rock
Peter Weir's classic mystery, the story of the disappearance of several schoolgirls and their teacher during a picnic to Hanging Rock in central Victoria, Australia, on St Valentine's Day in 1900. Their unexplained vanishing haunts the local community. Described by Roger Ebert as a film of "haunting mystery and buried sexual hysteria".
