Retrospective cinema returns to Palace with a weekly film series highlighting classic, cult, and boundary-pushing cinema.Returning to the big screen to celebrate its 50th anniversary in a dazzling 4K restoration, Peter Weir’s adaptation of Joan Lindsay’s acclaimed 1967 novel has lost none of its mystique or mesmerising power.
This sensual and striking chronicle of a disappearance and its aftermath put director Peter Weir on the map and helped usher in a new era of Australian cinema.
PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK is set at the turn of the twentieth century and concerns a small group of students from an all-female college who vanish, along with a chaperone, while on a St. Valentine’s Day outing. 👒
Less a mystery than a journey into the mystic, as well as an inquiry into issues of class and sexual repression in Australian society, Weir’s gorgeous, disquieting film is a work of poetic horror whose secrets haunt viewers to this day.
Experience the new 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Peter Weir and director of photography Russell Boyd.
