User Reviews

Watch it several times: it will affect every dream you ever want to have!

This is a brilliant, phantasmagorical film which offers a good start for the discussion of how to mix sexuality and innocence. Lots of nudity makes it pleasant on the eye; but it's also got an interesting twist on an intriguing piece of historical mystery. Not much seen since the 70s (when I saw it); but due a revival.
