CGiii Comment
The follow-up film to Claire of the Moon...
Conn...appropriate name...conned the audience with this diabolical nonsense.
It looks like something David Hamilton did in the 70s...soft core lesbian porn with soft focus and sweet-sounding music.
However Conn omits the sweet-sounding music, has a hideously written voice-over throughout, ignores continuity and splices scenes together with the skill of a one-armed gorilla.
Stick with David Hamilton - at least he knows how to use a camera.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
1883, Baycliff, an isolated English village on the Irish Sea. Two women's friendship becomes passion. Cynara, a sculptor, alone, befriends Byron, a visitor who's left Paris in unhappiness. They ride horses, talk, play chess, and exchanging tenderness. Byron inspires Cynara as she sculpts, Cynara becomes Byron's muse as she writes. Then each imagines expressing physical passion to the other, Cynara's visions in black and white, Byron's in color. Their touches remain brief. Does respectability hold them back? What might pull down any last barriers to their expressions of love?
