This week, we discuss two films from award-winning Australian director Peter Weir.

The first is Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), an adaptation of the celebrated novel of the same name. It tells the story of a group of girls and their teacher who go missing during an excursion to the mysterious Hanging Rock.

The second is Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003). The film stars Russell Crowe as Jack Aubrey, a decorated British naval captain, and Paul Bettany as Stephen Maturin, the ship’s surgeon.
