Age of Consent (1969)

£0.00


Country: AUS
Technical: Eastmancolor 103m
Director: Michael Powell
Cast: James Mason, Helen Mirren, Jack MacGowran

Synopsis:

A successful Australian artist in search of his muse shuts himself off on an almost deserted island off Queensland and there meets a half-wild young girl who becomes his model.

Review:

Stunningly coloured and not really like anything else you have seen, this curiosity could be interpreted as Powell and Mason's film in which they attempted to get in touch with a certain sixties' free-spiritedness. A lot of it comes across as rather arch and unreal - indeed the scenes with Jack MacGowran remind one of bad Carry-On - but that is its charm in a way. There is something liberating about its tale of a jaded middle-aged man finding rebirth in an idyllic spot with an idyllic Miss Mirren.
