Our Australian host in London introduced Francisco and I to the Australian classic, Picnic at Hanging Rock, which our host aptly described as the slowest thriller ever made. The film, made in the 1970s, is a supernatural thriller about the disappearance of several girls on Valentine's Day, 1900. I've never been so scared while watching a movie (of course, I avoid scary movies and remember being very frightened by Monsters Inc. back in college). Picnic at Hanging Rock is Terrence Malick-esque--a poetic, romanticized portrayal of life in at the girls' school in the Victorian Era and the contrasting draw of the wilderness--particularly the ancient rock formation called Hanging Rock.
