Description: Like much of Metzger’s best work, Therese And Isabelle walks the line of erotica and arthouse. It’s not as explicit as many of his later films, but would still get a hard R-rating today. A film about young love and lament, think of it as a 1960’s version of Brokeback Mountain …with hot schoolgirls instead of gay cowboys.
