Picnic at Hanging Rock

Australia Peter Weir

To my mind the crowning achievement of the renaissance the Au film industry went through from 1973 to 1985.

Weir's film was beautiful to look at, thoughtful, mysterious, pregnant with meaning. The editing, tone, music...all facets of filmmaking came together here to create an experience that has lasted with me for 35 years. I was thrilled that it has stood up as well as it has. It remains a great work of world cinema.
