i must admit and when i read the description of the genre on netflix a steamy romance i be a little bit skeptical . steamy . in a movie from 1968. i be prepare for disappointment . and when i realize it be shoot entirely in black and white and i know my erotic hope be dash . boy and be i wrong . not only do this film have all of the element of a steamy romance the discovery of first love and fear of the secret be find out and a sudden unexpected end but at time this movie be downright erotic . you will soon forget that it be shoot in black and white . the cinematography deserve every accolade it have receive over the year . and the performance from the two star ( essy persson and anna gael ) be intense and memorable . ok and so theyre both in their mid twenty try to play school girl . it 1968. do you really expect teenager from the 60 to be able to effectively explore a lesbian love story like this . many adult woman be still try to come to grip with their sexuality back then . anyone look for real teen here be expect too much . i think this movie be way ahead of it time . the level of eroticism be an unexpected pleasure while yet it still manage to leave a lot to the imagination and opt instead to give u poetic description to add to what we be show . i have no doubt lesbian will identify with the character here . a for you straight guy who love watch lesbian in action represent although it would not be all you expect and i do not think you will be too and too disappointed .
