Anaïs Nin: “Something is always born of excess – great art was born of great terror, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them.”
“Henry & June” (1990) by Philip Kaufman which is based on the book by Anais Nin is a wonderful film, a rare and admirable example of how an art-house erotic film should be made. It tells an interesting story that concerns the famous and scandalous American writer Henry Miller during the period of work on his first major work, “Tropic of Cancer” in 1931 in Paris and two women without whom the book would not have happened. One of them is his wife, June Miller, who is a constant presence under the different names in all Miller’s works. The other – Henry’s (and June’s) close friend, lover, and confidant, Anais Nin. The film is an adaptation or mediation over the Anais Nin’s journal which she wrote for 60 years and described in it the intimate details her inner world, including experiences with sexuality, and the meetings and relationships with prominent bohemian personalities of literature and art, who came from around the world to Paris, always known as the Mecca for creative individuals. Nin said about her life long writing in diary, “This diary is my kief, hashish, and opium pipe. This is my drug and my vice.” Anais met in Paris provincial but talented non-conformist Miller and his exotic, sensual, and irresistible wife June (Uma Thurman never looked so attractive, as in this movie) and began affairs with both of them that would change their lives and influence enormously both Miller’s and Nin’s literary work. Anais is also known and praised as one of the first and the finest female writers of erotica. One of the reasons for film’s success was director/writer Philip Kaufman’s ability to delicately transfer to the screen the erotic intense atmosphere of Nin’s writing as well as the spirit of Bohemian Paris in the beginning of the 1930s.At the of Anais’ request, her journal was published only after the death of all the participants in the events. Anais’ relationship with Henry and June, which led to her own realization as writer, served as the basis for the Philip Kaufman’s film. Kaufman wrote the script together with his wife Rose, and made a brilliant, disturbing, outrageous film, which had made history by having been the first USA film to receive the NR-17 Rating, so called “kiss of death”. Henry and June is an adult film in the literal meaning of this word, it is the movie made for adults which explores in the insightful, exiting and artistic way the motivations, inspirations, and desires of the famous figures of Art. The acting is universally good with terrific Maria de Medeiros as Anais Nin. It is impossible to take one’s eyes off her face – so charming, lovely, and desirable she is. She possesses the power of commanding the screen and she is the best thing in the movie which belongs to her Anais Nin.
