Los Angeles- from www.latimes.com – In the 1960s and ’70s, independent American filmmaker Radley Metzger caused a firestorm of controversy with his art house erotic films such as 1968’s “Therese and Isabelle.”

The UCLA Film & Television Archive is celebrating this pioneering director with the two-week festival “Smooth Operator: The Opulent Eroticism of Radley Metzger,” opening Thursday at the Billy Wilder Theater with the digitally restored extended version of his romantic drama “The Lickerish Quartet.” Metzger will appear in person.

He is also scheduled to appear at Friday’s free screening at the Wilder of the digitally restored extended version of his 1969 film “Camille 2000,” based on a novel by Alexandre Dumas. On tap for Monday is his best-known film, “Therese and Isabelle,” about girls at a private school who have an affair.
