    The theatrical cut for me is the best. The 4k restoration looks sublime.

    In 2006 I visited the Rock. After spending the day climbing and exploring I watched the movie after dark at the base…..
    An experience I’ll never forget

    I was living in a small mining town in Tasmania when I saw this - the town no longer exists - but I do remember as a child this movie had been the scariest I had ever seen at that point.

    A masterpiece, the one film that has perhaps affected me the most emotionally.

    I never knew of all these different versions of the film. Big eye opener. Thank you TH-cam, and all those community members that post. ❤

    It's about time travel, the Rock is a Portal. Their watches stopping is a subtle clue to this.

      Excellent to point out. Thanks for reminding me of this plot point.

      Ch 17 suggests this. The girls disappeared at the base of the balancing boulders as I recall, and slipped into another dimension. Too explicit for the published version of the book and any version of the film of course.

      Ch 17 was published as a slim volume in early 1985 after the author’s passing. You used to be able to buy it in the store at the Rock. Perhaps someone can tell us if that’s still the case.

      @@peterboss3836 I remember buying Chapter 17 at the gift shop and reading it in the car on the way home. My parents took me to Hanging Rock to explore as a special treat during our yearly holiday in Victoria. I was obsessed with the film at that time. I was terrified and awed by the Rock. I have vivid memories.

    Есть гениальные режиссёры и их произведения кинематографа. А этот фильм не за пределами книги, а просто за пределами самого кинематографа, чем-то большим получился.И нужно такое мастерство и тонкое восприятие, чтобы создать мягкую и нежную атмосферу сна, мечты, сливающейся и неотличимой от жизни,так что уже непонятно где мы, и что это-всё то, что окружает?..

    Потрясающая работа кинооператора Рассела Бойда! Такой мягкий свет, дымка, как вуаль сквозь которую всё видится! при этом не замылено..

    What piece of music is played at the very last, when they roll the credits. Liszt, Chopin? It's so lovely I'd love to hear it in it's entirety.

      It's the second movement of Beethoven's "Emperor" Concerto.

    I can see how people who saw and loved the original theatrical version would be annoyed with Weir's Directors cut and really both versions should be sold. I tend to think Weir's shorter cut is the better movie though, was another scene of poor Irma being tortured and interrogated for answers really need? or a very minor characters emotional breakdown in church? they tend to be scenes where we're now getting beaten over the head with the mental toll the mystery had taken on Michael and the schoolgirls, we more effectively capture that turmoil in other scenes.

      I don't know, I thought it brought a nice layer of romance to the film for them to have that brief time together, it makes Michael's exit from the film better explained too. In the director's cut he just sort of vanishes which seems a bit abrupt, though you could argue he felt by then he'd done all he could. It also seems kind of natural that she would wish to thank him and that he would later ask what happened as he was so desperate to know. The fact we don't see her reply may mean there's so many different ways a person can view that scene where suddenly they are not looking at each other and he says he's going away, was he upset by what she did reveal, was he upset she couldn't remember like him, or was that always the plan he'd go North? We also see Albert get slightly overlooked too, up to that point Albert seemed to be doing pretty well for himself and seems to more than hold his own, but you sort of see the social class barrier go up when he has to talk to Irma and the teacher in that scene he has, once Irma sets her eyes on Michael Albert becomes an afterthought. Though again you could argue Michael was the one more invested in the rescue so deserved more credit.

    When they talked of the beautiful quality of the filming thru bridle vail material I was thinking how hideous high definitions filming is so ugly. Everything is harsh and the color brightness is saver and not real. It is so unpleasant to watch and the subject matter is equally harsh and only saws the worst of humanity. Everything has lost it's beautify when modern technology gets its hands on it.
