In the early 1900s, Miranda attends a girls boarding school in Australia. One Valentine's Day, the school's typically strict headmistress treats the girls to a picnic field trip to an unusual but scenic volcanic formation called Hanging Rock. Despite rules against it, Miranda and several other girls venture off. It's not until the end of the day that the faculty realizes the girls and one of the teachers have disappeared mysteriously.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hypnotic, beautifully composed mystery where the disappearance matters less than the strange atmosphere surrounding it, a film that lingers in ambiguity and never offers easy answers. Watching feels like drifting into a half-remembered dream that doesn't quite make sense upon waking.
