Review of Henry & June (1990) by Hal Lipper for Tampa Bay Times — 06 Mar 2007
While visually lush and inviting, this insular, self-absorbed film is more a violation than a celebration of the lives of two of literatures foremost sensualists, Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin. Little of Miller’s boisterous, anarchic spirit makes its way into this film.
Nor is its superficial handling of Nin’s theme of a woman’s self-realization likely to satisfy her admirers.
