Picnic at Hanging Rock - theme soundtrack - Gheorghe Zamfir 'Doina Sus Pe Culmea Dealului'

[@AllenbysEyes]

One of those movies that seems obscure and maddening at first glance. Then it burrows into your subconscious and you can't stop thinking about it. "Waiting a million years... just for us."

[@morganalabeille5004]

That line is especially poignant when you learn about the history of Hanging Rock. It's sacred to the Aboriginal people of Australia who have been living around it for over 26000 years. That's more than a tenth of the time modern humans have existed. We aren't even completely sure of its true name because that knowledge has been violently suppressed. But these girls don't know any of that, to them it's just a picnic spot. Or maybe they do know, and just don't care.

Oglądałem dziś film na Ale kino TVP i zabarakło mi wielu scen ale także muzyki Gherogha Zamfira. Nie wiem czym to jest podyktowane. Pamiętam oryginalny film gdzie właśnie muzyka Gheogha Zamfira robiła wrażenie. ... Bardo lubię muzykę Zamfira

[@AudreyH100]

Wonderful movie one of those movies that stays with u. The music is a big part of that hauntingly beautiful.

[@dorugrigorescu5040]

Zamfir's song is part of a Romanian folk songs genre named "DOINA". It is the music of the Romanian peasants and shepherds, sung usually in solitude and on a deep melancholic note. Its themes are longing (DOR in Romanian; see also my first name), dissapointment in love, revolt for unjustice.

[@bobbydazzler8684]

The 2018 TV series is an adaptation of the book, not a remake of Peter Weir's film. Books get adapted over and over again -- especially classics -- and this is no different. While I agree Weir's film is a masterpiece and will never be bettered, there's no reason why adaptations can't exist. I can think of examples where a new adaptation betters an earlier film -- the Coens' adaptation of True Grit is such an example. You're under no obligation to watch an version you are not interested in.

mar bo Well, Replican7 started out by quoting Miranda. So I decided to also quote Miranda from the same scene. This is my favorite novel and I’ve read it about 50 times, and I’ve seen the movie quite a few times as well. The quote isn’t about suicide, it’s about Miranda’s ethereal and mysterious nature and how she seems to know that she will soon disappear without a trace. But sure, call me a moron because I’m quoting the movie/novel that we were discussing. It frankly says more about you than it does me.

Renata Dejong Why? I have a lovely little house, a great kid, 2 awesome cats, my own car & motorbike, a job that allows me to make allowances for my mental health, added to which I am a chronic pain patient, so I am always going to be somewhat physically dependent. My biggest issue is my BPII and GAD which, ironically, is actually helped by the low dose opiate medication I am prescribed by my pain management team. There's a difference between desperate junkie and being physically dependent. I was a junkie for 12 years and would never go back to that, but I am more than fine being medicated because I can live a decent life that way. Sobriety is not the only way; our society has mixed up moralising with science. Read some of Dr Carl Hart's work if you actually want to understand the nature of drugs, addiction and how moral panics create this idea that being "clean" is the only possible way forward (implying those who aren't are somehow "dirty"...very loaded terms). So really, I don't need you faux concern trolling with the smiley face because it implies my treatment team and myself don't know what works for me when I am actually 45 years old...it's actually really patronising.

'What we see and what we seem are but a dream, a dream within a dream' what a movie!!! and this sound track!!! The first line of the film says it all. The quality of this clip is exceptional. Thanks.

[@clarestubbs9303]

The music gives me goosebumps and the film is disturbing but beautiful.

[@hotdamnsweetie]

Very beautiful with a sinister feel about it.... That church organ really gives it a special touch, doesn't it? Kind of funeral like but not, if you know what I mean....

[@christopherthomas7253]

Totally, when the flute goes up to that one kind of blue note and the organ goes to that minor key - woah, fantastic!

Oksana Weletska i can understand what u are saying. peter weir and some other more aussie directors have a very very subtle psycological touch to them, and that cannot be separated from their land

[@kurta123]

***** can you recommend some films with that psychological touch you're talking about? :) picnic at hanging rock blew my mind. I want mooore

[@stuartbirchall184]

+kurta123 Weekend of shadows would be a good place to start.

[@Cruithneach]

+kurta123 "The Last Wave" - Weir's follow-up to "Picnic at Hanging Rock" - is worth a look

Like all good mysteries, there is no answer to be found in digging deeper, only questions to be uncovered.

Llevo toda mi vida buscando esta pieza músical desde que la escuche en la película, cuando era pequeña. Hoy la he encontrado por fin ❤️

I saw this movie when I was 15 years old. Till now, I have not seen a movie capture my attention like this one and I am 33 now. This is by far the most mesmerizing tune I have heard. Zamfir is brilliant. This music made the movie even more mysterious. I was in love with Miranda (played by Anne Lambert). She is such a heart breaker and it's such a sad and haunting story.

[@adrianjohnson7920]

The segue of Miranda into the image of the swan in the reverie of the young man remembering hislaast glimpse of her is heartbreakingly beautiful.

'Das ganze Sein ist Traum, und selbst die Träume sind Traum'. Dieser Film ist gigantisch schön, überwältigend; dieser Film ist so schön, daß es schmerzt!

Lovely... Valentines Day 2012, 1am... I suddenly kew what happened.

[@Gon_casco]

The music. The mistery. Time, darkness and magic. The chills 🖤

[@Dobetter1375]

where can I buy a copy of this sound track by Gheorghe Zamfir? I have only been able to find copies by other artists and they are good but not as good as his.

[@FirstLast-hj1rh]

Her face, this story and this music = PERFECT!

[@jamesmcelroy5459]

Thank you, I was to place this music in the film. I was also a close friend on Anne Lambert, a great actress and Counsellor.
