Wish I'd seen this 33 years ago when it came out. At the time I was a college student studying photography and I rather liked the work of David Hamilton and even tried to emulate his soft focus look.
Today it all just looks like a poor excuse for some titillation. I'm not so interested in school girls any more. It's just soft porn masquerading as art. It makes me wonder what Hamilton was up to at the time. Was he trying to recapture an idealised youth?
In all honesty I must confess to only having the patience to watch about 45 minutes of it. I'd never seen it but it had been tagged in my mind as something to make time for if I ever got the opportunity. It is horribly sweetly sickly soft porn. God what a fool I was at 17!
