I think the mood and atmosphere of the visual style of Bilitis is present in these later films:
Lolita (1997) specially the scenes of Humbert Humbert remembering his childhood
The Virgin Suicides (1999)
These ones take scenes directly from the movie:
Stealing Beauty (1996) Liv Tyler kissing the mirror
La Nuit des traquées (1980) A Jean Rollin film with a lesbian scene similar to the one in Bilitis between Patti D'arbanville and Mona Kristensen.
Any more?

I was reminded very much of "Picnic at Hanging Rock" which was made two years earlier in 1975 and is considered a film of high quality.
The blue school uniforms worn by the girls in Bilitis remind me very much of the summer uniform worn by girls at Monte here in Sydney in the 1970s.
I totally agree about the Lolita scene. That is my fave scene too.
