AGE OF CONSENT (1968)
MICHAEL POWELL
Plot
With shades of Balzac's 'The Unknown Masterpiece' (recently made as 'La Belle Noiseuse'), Mason plays a retired painter whose long-dead creative urge is re-awakened when he meets a beautiful teenage girl (Mirren), strips and paints her. Powell's sure direction creates a sensuous atmosphere, and the cast is superb.
