Synopsis
Age of Consent (1969) is an Australian-British comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Michael Powell and starring James Mason alongside Helen Mirren in her feature debut.
Bradley Morahan is a celebrated painter who has nothing left to say. He escapes his debts and his staleness by retreating to a half-ruined shack on a reef island off Queensland. His island company: a gin-soaked eccentric and her granddaughter Cora, who agrees to pose for a few coins. Slowly, something starts working again.
Powell made this after years of cold reception following Peeping Tom, adapting Norman Lindsay's novel into a sun-drenched, unhurried character study. The main reason to seek it out is Mirren — raw, unguarded, before the craft fully locked in. Stream Age of Consent (1969) online on iFILM.
