Such an attentive, impassioned awareness of the politics which underscore the figuration of the girl on screen not only offers up a provocative re-reading of a classic film, but it also speaks directly to its gestures of love, of kinship and pleasure which operate outside, and in spite of, patriarchal culture. This is a beautiful book of relevance to any and all interested in the expanding vistas of female subjectivity in film and those real and metaphorical 'rocks' which might lodge, vociferously, between such positions of imagination, selfhood and desire., "The BFI Film Classics are a perfect way to explore a film such as this, and Rogers' monograph is another essential entry in the series." - Adrian Smith , Cinema Retro "Such an attentive, impassioned awareness of the politics which underscore the figuration of the girl on screen not only offers up a provocative re-reading of a classic film, but it also speaks directly to its gestures of love, of kinship and pleasure which operate outside, and in spite of, patriarchal culture. This is a beautiful book of relevance to any and all interested in the expanding vistas of female subjectivity in film and those real and metaphorical 'rocks' which might lodge, vociferously, between such positions of imagination, selfhood and desire." --Davina Quinlivan, Kingston University, UK "A beautifully constructed analysis of a complex and haunting film. Backman Rogers skillfully dissects the patriarchal working environment of Patricia Lovell's project to realize a faithful rendering of Joan Lindsay's perplexing novel while also offering a subtle reading of the film via its distinctive cinematography. A tour de force of feminist film analysis, intellectual clarity and cinephilia." --Griselda Pollock, University of Leeds, UK "This is a ravishing book. Anna Backman Rogers passionately honours the enchantment of Picnic at Hanging Rock , its veiled images, the love between Miranda and Sarah, its languor, 'the slow bleed from morning into afternoon'. Yet she also, in coruscating prose, shows quite brilliantly how the film decries the horror of empire and the 'violence wrought on the female body', then and now. I urge you to read this book, to enter its dream." --Emma Wilson, University of Cambridge, UK "The BFI Film Classics are a perfect way to explore a film such as this, and Rogers' monograph is another essential entry in the series." - Adrian Smith , Cinema Retro, "Such an attentive, impassioned awareness of the politics which underscore the figuration of the girl on screen not only offers up a provocative re-reading of a classic film, but it also speaks directly to its gestures of love, of kinship and pleasure which operate outside, and in spite of, patriarchal culture.
