Age of Consent explores the intense and often obsessive nature of an artist facing the sunset of his career - taking stock of his life and ultimate worth. James Mason is Bradley Morahan, a commercially successful but creatively jaded painter, who retires from the bustle of New York to seek the tranquillity and peace of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Looking for inspiration, he meets an innocent yet mature teenager Cora (Helen Mirren) who provides him with the impetus to paint once again. Exploring Cora's natural beauty, Bradley seeks to restore his creative drive and lift his battered self-esteem in a passionate and erotically charged encounter. Based on the autobiographical novel by acclaimed artist Norman Lindsay, Age of Consent captures the essence of the artist as a tortured soul, the power of the mesmerising muse in lifting the spirit and launching the lifelong pursuit of beauty and happiness.
A famous painter retreats to a somewhat remote island in Australia's Great Barrier Reef to inspire his creativity and finds a young woman to pose for him. Mason is fine as the painter. In one of her earliest roles, Mirren looks amazingly young and alluring as the object of Mason's desire. MacGowran provides the comedy as Mason's unwanted guest on the island. There isn't much of a plot in this laid-back and light-hearted comedy, but it features a quirky cast of characters and is quite enjoyable. The dog is cute and receives on-screen billing. The island setting is beautifully filmed under Powell's masterful direction.
