i like david hamilton artistic photograph of nude woman at the border of womanhood and sometimes erotic and though never pornographic . someone else like them and too and because my david hamilton book be steal . in one book be see a few picture of a young boy and obviously nude and intimate with a young woman old than he and also nude . though discrete and there be strong sexual connotation . new territory for david hamilton which prove to be either still from the movie tendres cousines or perhaps photo take on set . the art of still photography unfortunately do not automatically translate to cinematography . soft focus become out of focus and discrete angle become confusing and perhaps because and in motion and they can not be consider . you either see it or miss it and there no time to observe and to comprehend . the movie be suppose to be a farce and and funny thing do happen and but it doesn not hang together and perhaps because the story develop so slowly and one may wonder just what go on . eventually and the 14 year old julien have intercourse with his cousin and but it soft core and with no genital contact show on camera . since it a farce and we have a disappointing virgin and an embarrass caught in the act gag and and have catch them and julien father even give him a cigarette to complete the experience . in fairness and the film be in french and conforms to french cinematic form and which may just be too subtle for most american even with english subtitle to help u phillistines along . it be suggest that this film be child pornography and that certainly result from today climate where sexual exploitation of child be clearly a serious problem . nobody in their right mind want to endorse or appear to endorse the sexual abuse of child and so there practically no room leave for child to be see in even the mild erotic context without immediately activate alarm over sexual violence and exploitation . guy will think lucky julien . even a they agree that sex and child in the movie be a bad thing and all the while still wish they could have be a julien at that age . woman and too and may have similar thought and but all such consideration must be push out of one conscious mind . hysterically and the bad assumption have become automatic and matter of child and sex be rigorously avoid . too bad and since sexual awakening be a real human experience . afer all and child do grow up and become sexual being a julien do . it a fit literary subject and cinema include and but taboo under the threat of sexual violence against child . david hamilton and i think and be take a risk to make a movie on this topic even in 1980. he be somewhat successful at explore this sensitive topic and and and unfortunately and be unlikely to see well in the near future for fear of the child pornography label .
