Simone Simon and Edwige Feuiller star as a pair of head mistresses in a girls school, each with her own competing coterie of girls. Director Jacqueline Audry's lushly sensuous vision confounded the censors of 1951 and even today this discreetly erotic tale remains wonderfully effective due to the integrity of the women who wrote and directed what was to become an important, but little seen film in the history of Lesbian cinema.
“Olivia” captures the awakening passions of an English adolescent sent away for a year to a small finishing school outside Paris. The innocent but watchful Olivia develops an infatuation for her headmistress Julie and through this screen of love observes the tense romance between Julie and the other head of the school Cara in its final months.
