Peter Weir knows how to build suspense and cultivate atmosphere to bridge the past and present. Too bad the central mystery is a tad underwhelming. Richard Chamberlain takes it seriously though and there are images that leave an impact.

Like "Picnic at Hanging Rock" before it and "Witness" after, this haunting mystery also by Peter Weir is layered with sociopolitical themes and juxtaposition of cultures.
