Synopsis:

Response to Peary’s Review:
As Peary points out, Bilitis is basically soft-core porn packaged as a teenage “coming-of-age sexcapade”; indeed, it contains many porn-film tropes, such as gratuitous lesbian love scenes, a young virgin’s sexual awakening, and a sexually unsatisfied woman’s search for a “suitable” lover. The storyline in Bilitis is ridiculous and “boring,” but at least director David Hamilton’s soft-focus cinematography is easy on the eyes. Ephebophiles will have a field day watching countless nubile young women prance about in various states of undress; the rest of us will be distractedly wondering if these girls are really all 18 or older…
Redeeming Qualities:
- Lush soft-focus cinematography
Must See?
No. This one is for soft-core porn aficionados only.
