An all-white vision?

[edit]

As far as I recall, there are no Native Australians in the entire film, although their relics seem to be part of the mystic backgroun Is this correct? And would this be realistic for the place and time?

You would not expect to have found Aboriginals in the type of country being portrayed then or now. To an extent this was the result of disposession (surviving Aboriginals were concentrated in missions and reserves), but population densities were probably never high in the countryside portrayed.--Grahamec 02:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
there's a native australian tracker among the search party, wearing a bright red coat--Mongreilf (talk) 15:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A source for further details about this film

[edit]

This interview:

with producer Patricia Lovell talks about the film. For example:

I used that interview to flesh out Lovell's bio a bit and thought it could be useful here too — 67.101.6.238 03:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Picnic at hanging rock.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Picnic at Hanging Rock (film)Picnic at Hanging Rock — Relisted. --RegentsPark (talk) 20:29, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with The Secret of Hanging Rock

[edit]

Describe errata tied to Picnic at Hanging Rock, likely not enough significant coverage to be useful as independent article Sadads (talk) 01:59, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is Molyvos 1. It's pretty clear to me that this article should be merged with the main Picnic at Hanging Rock entry. This is about the final chapter - how is that not part of the main story?

I agree with this. --Drown Soda (talk) 01:25, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Doina Lui Petru Unc"

[edit]

This source gives "Doina Lui Petru Unc" as the main theme, as does this source. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:26, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lesbian theme

[edit]

Can I add the category "lesbian related-films" to the article? I understand that this is not so much a romantic, how much a metaphorical film and that the homosexuality shown in the film is situational, but why not? At one time, the director even noted that the lesbian subtext was the first thing he was asked about after the premiere. Solaire the knight (talk) 15:04, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There seem to be plenty of sources to support direct influence e.g. here, here and here? Martinevans123 (talk) 14:08, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
