Picnic at Hanging Rock

I like a handful of Peter Weir movies, but not this one.

He definitely has much deeper ones. This one is just pretty to look at, as my mother says.

That really WAS a mind****. It assaults you with the feeling of worry and lack of knowledge with a gruesome power to it.

Watched this the other day. Still processing. Found it both frustrating and fascinating at the same time. Frustrating because it could have been so much better. The limited time frame of the movie is prioritized in a way that seems to view the fascinating original story more as an artistic tool than the intriguing potential it is in itself. Kinda wished I had read the book first.
Despite that I still enjoyed it for its creepyness and (somewhat overblown) ambiguity. Gave it 7/10. Feels like it might climb higher after some more processing and possibly a rewatch.

What movie would you say come closest to this in terms of creepy mystery with a similar vibe? I can't think of any sadly.

A masterpiece that matters so much to my own life story

Why? Explain.

Clearly,

Try Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)!

It's been almost impossible to see a movie. I can't even think of a handful I've seen this year, but it would have to really grab me, and I'd have to be into it pretty quickly. I'm really, really picky about movies, because I always go into a movie thinking I'm going to like it, and seeing any bad movie really depresses me on top of my current depressed state, and I've already seen thousands, but maybe I'll give it 10 minutes or something, because I've wasted 95% of my time with movies made in my lifetime, and I'm strictly a Drama fan, neo-realism, New Wave, Indie American movies and some old classics.

Have you seen Master and Commander?
Based on your description of what you like, it sounds like you might like it.

I'll admit, it's not for everyone - if you strictly only go in for superhero movies, special-effects-laden CGI spectacles, sexually-graphic gratuities, or Adam Sandler-level comedies, then a very authentic looking period piece (that is not wanting for action) may not be for you.

No, I haven't seen it. I like dramas from the 60/70s, foreign, independent, movies about people, not voyages, expeditions, capers, assassinations, mysteries, noir, action, etc.. I do like movies from the 30-50s, but mostly foreign. It's hard to find unique movies after seeing thousands of them.
