This is a great review of a highly interesting and pretty mesmerizing movie. One of these films that could only be made in the 70s and the reason why I'm such a fan of that decade in film history.
This is probably my favorite Peter Weir film, but I also enjoyed the Plumber (and even The Cars that Ate Paris) and The Mosquito Coast. I also think Dead Poets Society is a great film and The Truman Show deserves a mention too. But, to be honest, Picnic at Hanging Rock is something different and definitely deserves some attention. Thanks for sharing this with us!
P.S. I see you're living in Granada. Were you born there? I lived there for 6 weeks, in 2009, and fell in love with the city and area. I miss that place!
Mesmerizing is the word yeah! And it's funny you mention Mosquito Coast, I can't stop thinking about that movie (best Harrison Ford performance ever) and have been trying to find it for the past few weeks. As for Granada, no, I just live here since 2012.
I agree with you about the Harrison Ford part. I loved his performance in that picture. I only got to watch it once but now I can't wait to give it another viewing.
Que bueno que vives en Granada desde 2012, aunque no naciste allí!
