Kick-Back Friday: #80

Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975): An early film by Australian director Peter Weir (Witness, Master and Commander); based on the novel of the same name (which was falsely believed to be based on a true story). Three popular students and their teacher go missing during an otherwise idyllic school outing on St. Valentine's Day in the year 1900. The cryptic solution has something to do with a wrinkle in the time-space continuum—which Weir alludes to, but never fully divulges, in his portrait of the dreamlike event and its traumatic aftermath.
