Age Of Consent (1969)

February 28, 2020

Age Of Consent is a beautiful film from the arse-end of the 60s which I am so so glad I took a chance on. The plot is a bit wet, following an artist who lost his muse as he returns to the wilderness of a desert island, where he meets a young and nubile Helen Mirren. She becomes his model, and their relationship develops, but the problem is, is that he is a man in his 50s or whatever, and she is underage. Its a tricky one to navigate, but its beautifully done. The overall tone, setting, cinematography and (frankly) the tasteful nudity far outweigh the somewhat daft plot.
