ABOUT THE FILM:

A leading film of the Australian New Wave, Peter Weir’s adaptation of Joan Lindsay’s novel was a key inspiration for Sofia Coppola in realizing her vision of THE VIRGIN SUICIDES. The film follows the disappearance of a group of schoolgirls during a Valentine’s Day picnic at Hanging Rock, Victoria, and the subsequent fall-out from their unexplained absence. A young Jacki Weaver stars alongside Rachel Roberts, Dominic Guard and Helen Morse in this ethereal mystery, grappling with themes of femininity, death, and adolescent understandings of romance and freedom.
