Age
Of Consent (1969) Region 2 DVD
Synopsis: Michael Powell's
final feature film is about an artist (James Mason) who runs out of inspiration
and retreats to the Great Barrier Reef with his young model (Helen Mirren).
The film was full of nudity, wrote Powell, but it is a
painter's nudity.
Filmed mainly on Dunk Island (now the Reef's
priciest resort), it is undeniably beautiful and filled with engaging
characters. Mirren is not the only actress who takes her clothes off; so does
Clarissa Kaye, who later became Mason's real-life wife.
