Picnic at Hanging Rock - Original Theatrical Version torrent

This is the original theatrical version of Picnic at Hanging Rock. The quality isn't as good as the DVD version of the Director's Cut but some might like to have a copy for prosperity sake.

This version was included in a 3-set DVD deluxe package brought out by Second Sight and is the only one available to my knowledge.

The first frame on the movie explains how this came about which reads:

The longer original version of the film has been brought to DVD using the best elements available.
A new transfer of the film was not possible however an archive master was discovered. Although Anamorphic widescreen
this was found to have a small degree of image cropping. Whilst not usual practice for Second Sight to present a
film in such a way, given the lack of any viable alternative the decision was made to undertake restoration work and
include this version as a bonus feature, giving the viewer a now rare chance to see the original theatrical release.

I simply encoded the DVD to MKV using a tool called MakeMKV which yielded a 6.71gb file. Then I used Handbrake to bring the file size down but still try to maintain the quality...........or lack of.
