Famous for his ethereal images of girls on the cusp of womanhood, iconic British photographer David Hamilton makes his controversial feature film debut with Bilitis. Set in the idyllic French countryside, the film sensually explores a young schoolgirl's awakening to intimacy, romance and love during her summer vacation. Boasting the filmmaker’s recognisable dreamy style, the “Hamilton blur”, accompanied by the tender music of Oscar winning composer Francis Lai, Bilitis was both celebrated as art and condemned as pornography.

It's a movie that's enjoyable to watch because the creators simply knew what looks good, and I'm not just talking about naked young women's bodies. Overall, the visuals of the film are very pleasing, which is its main asset. Otherwise, the film doesn't deliver anything substantial and you get carried away by the realities rather than the interesting characters.
