Review of Tropic of Cancer (1972) by Jian G — 13 Jul 2016

An uneventful film with Torn portraying infamous writer Henry Miller, who was a consultant for this adaptation, as he philanders and scrounges his way around the streets of Paris in the 70's. Miller's characterization as a debauched libertine is detestable and because he doesn't have any real motive, there's not much conflict to carry the story making the audience ask, 'why bother?'.

An insignificant movie based off of a significant novel.
