Picnic by Hanging Rock

[10] After arguing that “there must be some explanation” for the disappearances, the old gardener Whitehead shows his young partner Tom the phenomenon of tigmotropism in plants: “You Do you know that some plants can move?” He touches a leaf of a plant (perhaps a shy mimosa), which in response deviates sharply to the side, “as if touched by the rays of the setting sun” (remark from the script).

[~ 21] “After expressing his opinion about nature, Whitehead leaves with a faint smile on his lips”, and the next shot, the camera captures “the sharply twisted peaks of the Hanging Rock” from a low angle, thereby establishing a link between the greenhouse microcosm and the macrocosm of volcanic formation.

[~ 27] Sarah also intuitively guesses this connection: at the beginning of the film, she gives Miranda a postcard with the image of a swan, and later on the dresser in her room, before the photo of her missing friend, we see a porcelain a figurine of this bird.


Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

Picnic by Hanging Rock

[~ 28] Bringing the disappeared girl closer to the swan in the imagination of both people in love with her, the director, according to Bliss, insists on the existence of forms of communication between people beyond physical reality — the supersensitive intuition that will come to the fore in his next film.

In this frame, it is permissible to see a hint of the mystery of Sarah's death, [~ 29] the secret passions raging at school, [23] the closeness between sleep and death (symbolized by a branch of poisonous oleander on the canvas) [~ 30 ] or a generalized mythological image of Venus that rhymes with the image of Miranda sleeping at the beginning of the film.

[27] The theme of the surrender of obsolete Victorianism is gradually led through the entire film by the elegiac motif of Beethoven's concert, known to the English-speaking public as “The Emperor”.

Picnic by Hanging Rock

In the office of Mrs. Appleyard, a miniature copy of Queen Victoria in the coordinates of a single provincial school, you can hear the obsessively loud ticking of the clock all the time — like a reminder of the strict the daily routine according to which the school and its inhabitants live, about the predestination and schedule of events in this world, and in the last scenes, about the evil fate that haunts its institution.

In a completely different time plane is placed a rock, the age of which, according to the omniscient Miss McGraw, is estimated at millions of years.

With regard to this “geological miracle”, the ideas accepted among people about time are meaningless.

Time on the rock (and probably space) is subject to its own laws.

From that moment on, Mrs. Appleyard's confidence in control of time and life is replaced by general confusion caused by her inability to explain the riddles of the rock.

Vague premonitions

The girls' conversations at the beginning of the film leave the impression that they know their future fate and are not at all alarmed by it, because “everything begins and ends exactly at the appointed time” (Miranda's words on a cliff).

[10] [13] As she approaches the rock, Irma thoughtfully says: “She has been waiting for us for a million years!” In one of the first scenes, Miranda warns Sarah that they will soon have to break up, so it's time for Sarah to “learn to love someone else.”

When she opens the gate leading to the rock, flocks of disturbed birds soar into the air, and the horses make an alarming laugh.

An unkind premonition vaguely permeates the footage in which Miranda brings a large knife over a pink cake in the form of a heart and cuts it in half.

Few of those who wrote about the Picnic by the Hanging Rock did not note the eroticism inherent in the images of schoolgirls washing and tightening each other's corsets in translucent light dresses.

[1] For example, a venerable film critic The New York Times, analyzing the opening scenes of the film, found “sexual attractions everywhere: students to students, students to teachers, teachers to someone an unknown person, even a maid to the gardener.”

As the director recalls, after the American premiere, this side of the film caused the greatest resonance - from talking about youthful sexuality pushed out of school life to hints of same-sex platonic love.

Picnic by Hanging Rock

[28] [~ 44] In interviews, he repeatedly made it clear that while working on the film he did not focus on the erotic side of the plot — he was more concerned about “sounds, smells, hair falling on his shoulders, images — just pictures” [28]:

That's not what I was interested in.

For me, the main theme of the film was Nature, and girlish sensuality is as much an element of it as a lizard crawling on the surface of a rock.

These are all elements of a single whole, part of the larger questions... I think the topic of sex here is drowning in something much more significant.

Social division

Picnic by Hanging Rock

Victorian society was clearly divided along class lines.

This division is also evident in the Australian countryside, depicted in Weir's film.

Bliss believes that the portrayal of Bertie as a plebeian that recognizes the legality of his animal urges and does not interrupt communication with nature borders on a stereotype.


Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

Picnic by Hanging Rock

The spell of the rock is powerless against him, which allows him to save both Michael and Irma, and under this liberating influence, his friend also loses his original stiffness.

According to Bliss, the friendship between young men is somewhat artificially introduced into the narrative fabric as a kind of mirror for the relationship that connects Miranda with Sarah (Bertie's sister).

[15] John Orr writes that “the duality and similarity of girls is enhanced by the duality of their male admirers”: their relationship is strengthened by mutual attraction to Miranda.

[19] According to this author, Miranda's disappearance leads to a secret attraction of young men to each other, but under the conditions of that time, hints of this attraction are even more vague than indications of girls falling in love with each other.

The first words of the film are spoken in the voice of Miranda, who lies in bed with her eyes closed.

Picnic by Hanging Rock

This is an inaccurate quote from Edgar Poe: “What we see and what we see in us is only a dream and a dream within another dream.”


Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

Picnic by Hanging Rock

[~ 49] The motive of sleep is passed by a red thread throughout the film: the rock makes young people inexplicable drowsiness, communication between brother and sister takes place in the dream, on the night of Sarah's death, the camera stops at a picture of a sleeping woman (see illustration on the right).

Cinematography enhances the onirical sensation: many scenes are shot in a slight haze, as if a veil was thrown on the camera.

[15] [22] [~ 50] In the world of this half-dream, Miranda appears to be the most desirable of all, but at the same time doomed to eternal virginity in the bosom of a rock, destined — like Leda — to the higher powers.

Working on the film


Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

Since the plot of the film does not contain the expected outcome and the development of the action is minimal, the main themes of the film are identified through scrupulous recreation of the historical environment and plausible reproduction atmosphere.


Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

Actors


Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

As an aspiring director from the cinematographic province, and also working on a very meager budget, Peter Weir could not count on star-level actors in his film.


Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

Picnic by Hanging Rock

Nevertheless, reviewers (and, in particular, the influential The New York Times) noted the successful selection of actors for the film.


Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

The role of Mrs. Appleyard, whose tragic fate mirrored the fate of the entire school, and the Victorian period as a whole, required a tried and tested theater actress, preferably from England (where she came from the heroine herself).

Picnic by Hanging Rock

Initially, the role was planned to be given to Vivienne Merchant, the wife of the famous playwright Pinter, but due to health problems, she was replaced by another Englishwoman of strict stage training, Rachel Roberts.

Cinematography


Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

Picnic by Hanging Rock

During the creation of Picnic by the Hanging Rock and The Last Wave, Peter Weir spoke contemptuously about the possibilities of language, trying to convey as much information as possible with original cinematic receptions.


Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

Picnic by Hanging Rock

[11] Language for him is just a shadow of reality, and the story is conducted not so much through dialogues as through pauses and transitions between them.


Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

Picnic by Hanging Rock

[~ 52] Visual imagery refuses to obey the task of coherent presentation of the event series and becomes an end in itself.


Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

Picnic by Hanging Rock

[10] The sun-drenched images at the beginning of the film (“the most gentle play of light and shadow”, as S. IN. Kudryavtsev) [27] are gradually giving way to the twilight of cramped rooms, which reflects the gradual awareness of the heroes of all the horror of what happened on the rock.

Question: When was Picnic by Hanging Rock translated into Russian?

The vinyl record with the film's soundtrack has not been re-released since 1976.
