Returning to the big screen in a dazzling 4K restoration to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Peter Weir’s 1975 adaptation of Joan Lindsay’s novel, Picnic at Hanging Rock, has lost none of its mystique or mesmerising power.

On Valentine’s Day 1900, students from Appleyard College, a girls’ private school in Victoria, Australia, embark on a picnic to an unusual but scenic volcanic formation called Hanging Rock. Despite the rules against it, several of the girls wander off. It’s not until the end of the day that the group realise that some of their party have mysteriously disappeared.
