Laura, Shadows Of A Summer (1979)




Very romantic and cool movie by famous photographer David Hamilton. Sculptor falls in love with daughter of her former girlfriend, ballet dancer as he sees her coming out of the seaside. Her mother takes nude photos of her for the sculptor but in the exhibition fire emerges and sculptor loses his eyesight. But nevertheless he manages to make love to her and finish her statue. There is perfect black and white sequence while ballet dancer dreams about him (great performance by Dawn Dunlop). Movie is full of great music and whatever can be said of David Hamilton, he was good artist and shouldn't be judged by his private affairs.
