Trying to get thrills out of this missing-persons case, dated Valentine's Day, 1900, is like trying to get blood from a stone (or better, in this case, from a rock). A brooding, inert mood piece, often reminiscent of a skinless David Hamilton photo essay in its slavering over Camay-complexioned teenage girls, who speak in wee high voices or in sibilant whispers, recite poems, bask in sunlight, move in slow motion, and disappear without trace amid the crags and crevices of Hanging Rock (possibly having burst like soap bubbles upon contact). The thematic elements -- British upper class and lower, adolescent sexuality and Victorian repression -- never do crystallize. With Rachel Roberts, Dominic Guard; directed by the Australian Peter Weir, prior to his The Last Wave. (1977) — Duncan Shepherd
