The Movie: Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)
What Is It?: On
Valentine’s Day, 1900, a group of young women from an all-girl’s conservatory
go for a holiday picnic near a mysterious rock formation in the Australian
wilds, and three of the girls and their teacher mysteriously disappear during
the excursion. Haunting unease permeates Peter Weir’s sepia photo album.
Why Today?: Today
is Valentine’s Day.
