(4) YA Richard, a middle-class teen vacationing in Wales, is drawn to Clio, the lovely daughter of bohemian artists. Free love, casual nudity, and decadent drug use thinly mask the taut foreshadowing of secrets that aren't nearly as dire as they initially seem. Dark psychological overtones and Rees's lyrical prose almost make up for the anticlimax.
