The Henry Miller Odyssey
Description
The colossus of Big Sur at work, living in, and revisiting old haunts in Brooklyn and Paris. Miller generously reveals how he saw his era, his peers and himself. He recalls his painful youth and his struggle to survive as a writer; talks about art, dreams, and all the allure of Paris; reads passages from his works and enjoys himself with friends, including Lawrence Durrell, Anais Nin, Alfred Perles, Brassai, and Jakob Gimpel. What emerges in this insightful documentary is Miller's charm, his gentleness and his lust for life. Henry Miller's Books include Sexus, Plexus, Nexus, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, and The Colossus of Maroussi. 'Invaluable alone for its barrage of opinions and reflections from a major literary figure...it also happens to be a very good movie beautifully photographed and deftly structured.' - LA Times.
