intro:"The Poetry of a Young Girl's Feelings" is the most controversial film at the Cannes Film Festival in 1977. With bold and beautiful imagery, it describes a budding romance of a schoolgirl and her first love, which also involves elements of lesbian relationships. The title character, "Bilitis," is a courtesan from ancient Greece who lived in Cyprus. It is said that she wrote many poems about lesbian love in a style similar to that of the ancient Greek poet Sappho, who lived in the same era. Thus, she later became a symbol for Western lesbianism. The small island where she and Sappho lived, "Lesbos," is also the origin of the term "lesbian." In 1955, one of the earliest lesbian organizations was named "Daughters of Bilitis."
