“Young Aphrodites” is an art film. It’s based on an old Greek story set about 200 years BC, and as a practical matter is about the sexual discovery of a couple of winsome, androgynous, Greek adolescents. It’s beautifully and artistically shot and with enough skin for some to fairly find disturbing. I’m caught between opposing camps on that score. Let’s just say that I’m hopelessly American. But I’m trying.
At the end of the day, it’s a very evocative and well-shot movie, even if I didn’t particularly enjoy it and don’t really feel the need to see it again. Grade B-.
