Picnic at Hanging Rock (Weir, 1975), an Australian film about a group of girls on a Boarding School trip to Hanging Rock. Taking place in the Victorian era, not only is this movie unsettling and eerie, but it’s also delightfully beautiful – a combination that makes this movie a must-see. (And, who doesn’t love black tights with white dresses?)

HUZZAH! I also found this movie gorgeous but quietly creepy. Especially because we never find out what happened. I’m glad you watched it!

Yeah! Me too, thanks for the great recommendation. I wanna know why the teacher was running to the rock only wearing pantaloons. Scandalous!
