Haunting drama based on true Australian story
Director Peter Weir’s 'Picnic at Hanging Rock Deluxe Edition' (Second Sight, €27.99) is a hauntingly chilling, yet strangely beautiful film.
Based on a true story about the disappearance of members of a school party on a trip to Ayers Rock in Australia in 1900, Weir perfectly captures the innocence of the girls and the mystery of how they vanished.
Eerie, quietly scary, it’s a captivating work that launched Weir and Australia onto the international stage.
This three-disc edition includes two versions of the film, the director’s and original cuts, plus deleted scenes, interviews and a two-hour making of documentary.
