SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
ghent1 THis is the debut film of D. Hamilton, a very well known photographer from the seventies. Contrary to the other commentator I found this a marvelous film, but you have to look at it from a certain perspective. If you look at this film searching for a good script, for profundity of conversation, for strong acting (genre "Cat on a ht tin roof"), this film will not appeal to you. But if you look at it like looking at a Monnet painting, listening to Debussy music or reading M. Proust, in essence, if you drink its simple, uncomplicated impressions, listen to the sublime music, watch the beautiful and stylish shots, enjoy the sensuality in the film without too much looking for sense in everything, the film is truly beautiful. In short: if you look at it like you look at impressionist art, not looking for all sorts of plots and hidden messages, but just to enjoy its simple and straight forward beauty, you will be drawn into a wonderful world and afterwards you'll be longing to live in that world of flowers, fresh life, warm summer in the country, swimming in the sea, having your first love etc...
himhim_bt I remember I watched this movie when it 1st came out - 1977I was only a kid then!!! The story and how it was filmed was like a 'mystery' to me until a few years following that, I was sent to a boarding school in England.But that wasn't the end - I was fasinated that I was going to experience the life of Bilitis - but it happened it was nothing like it - and the memory of watching Bilitis remains as mystery to me until today!The music of the original soundtrack - till today - fresh and inviting to all ages.
stevej99-1 The plot may not be much as it is somewhat incoherent however if you appreciate watching the sexual awakening and exploits of lovely young girls then this is for you.Patty D'Arbanvile is lovely to look at for such a young girl.
PairBrooks I must have seen this movie on some early subscription service like ON TV or Spectravision, before super explicit pay services or video. I had to have been 18, and the fact that it was in french made it even more exotic. All i remembered all these years was the name of the actresss. It's how I located the title, so i must have fallen in love with Patti D'Arbanville around this time. Maybe Don Johnson did too.
