thisishangingrockcomicsPicnic at Hanging Rock (1975) - Helen Morse as M.lle de Poitiers wearing a cream Edwardian afternoon gown made of silk. The stylised leg o’ mutton sleeves, tight waist and upright carriage, assisted by the authentic corset underneath her dress, ensure that the character stands out as a representative of modern fashionable society. Her appearance is beautiful but, in the context of the Australian bush, absurd – marking her as an intruder in an ancient, natural environment.
The costumes were designed by Judith Dorman. Some of them are currently displayed at the National Film & Sound Archive in Canberra.
A formative, powerful aura
