My parents took me to a late 80s re-screening of Picnic at Hanging Rock when I was 6 or 7yo.
I think at the time the classification board described it as “G” indicating that “the content is mild in impact” but by then it was no longer a new film and parents probably should have known better.
Sure its not as rough as Fortress (1985) but it was still covering themes of children in realistic peril. Its not a film with a happy ending and the fact that its based on a true story left child me shaken.
Yea I can definitely see that. They’re something very haunting and beautiful about the movie. I watched it and thought it was pretty good. Then for about a week I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It gets under your skin and burrows into your subconscious.
