Exceptional film
So grateful to be the first to you review this exceptionally beautiful film. On Saint Valentine's day in Australia a group of boarding school girls and their governesses take a trip to Hanging Rock. The pan flute music and victorian setting give this film a beautiful eerie quality. The Rock itself is a character of its own, and seems to call the girls into it's beautiful crevices. Three girls and one girl will not return. One is found several days later with no recollection of ever being there. What happened to them is a mystery. A must see for any drama film affecionado. A marvel.
