NOT GOOD IMAGE, NOT GOOD LANGUAGE.......2007-05-15
Where is the original version for this beautiful film? It is necessary to make a new DVD in FRENCH but with a high and good quality of image.
I'm sure that a lot of people was waiting for this DVD from a long time ago and what happen now ?. It isn't a very good product.
A little bit of a sexual scene was cut nearly the end of the story. Why ?.
Clásica!.......2007-05-09
Es lo que esperas de una clásica de los 80'.
Es una linda historia sobre el despertar de una adolecente.
Tiene la cantidad esacta de herotismo.
French Classic on Film.......2006-01-05
Bilitis (all short vowels) is leaving her boarding school. Although it seems puritanical in some respects, it is quite permissive in others. Bilitis has taken another girl as a lover but must leave her as she leaves school. She is not going with parents, but with a governess of some sort.
Bilitis then runs into a young man she who took pictures at her school and begins to spend time with him. Meanwhile she becomes aware that her governess and her husband do not have the best relationship. She seduces her governess and vows to find her a lover. I am not real clear on the motivations here but in the end Bilitis is not the happiest of campers.
Based on a French classic I have not read, I do not know how well it follows the story. I do know that I felt there was a lot missing and that many things were not quite clear. Although meant to be erotic, there is plenty of casual nudity and a couple of understated love scenes. Definitely not for the narrow-minded but very mild overall.
David Hamilton's finest.......2005-11-07
This DVD is a must. Luscious photography, beautiful women and bonuses. It is soft focus which is Hamilton's style. a previous user said the quality looked weird. This is how Hamilton shoots. This is a film you simply must see and own.
Too bad picture quality!.......2005-10-22
I bought Bilitis on DVD from Amazon to get better picture quality than the very old VHS copy I have. But I got very disappointed. The DVD's picture quality is no better at all! The DVD is obviously just copied it from a VHS, despite this DVD seems to be the "official" one.
The picture quality is the worst of any in my DVD collection. Low resolution. Low contrast. Low color saturation. Jerky picture. You can even see some horizontal stripes typical only for faulty, old videotapes! A shame the studio released this DVD without bothering to scan the original 35 mm.
The movie itself is what you can expect from David Hamilton, who is no "real" film director, but a photographer. Or he pretends to be. I don't think he has ever been even close to take one single clear focused picture during his entire life. But he is even worse as a director. His films have dull dialogue (dubbed), untalented acting, boring and completely uninteresting story lines, silly characters, and so on.
The only honest reason to look at Hamilton's books and films is that he somehow knows how to get pretty young girls appear nude in front of the camera. A pity the picture quality is so dull then.
I give this DVD two stars because of a rare, one minute scene with a couple of skinny-dipping girls. And a third one, divided between some OK music themes and a few more nude shoots (including a softy, lesbian "sex scene" between the main character and a woman.) Story, acting, picture quality and "extras" (hardly anything more than scene selections and own music score) get zero combined.
