In the film Anais is inspired by Henry and June to descend into a world of debauchery that fuels her erotic writing. We the audience see Henry and June through the eyes of Anais, which may mean it's not exactly as they really were, but rather a romanticised version of them.

This is NOT a biopic of Henry Miller, which is the foolish mistake that some reviewers seemed to make on the films release. The script tends to meander a bit, lacking any real plot. Each scene lives for itself, some more successfully than others. But in the torrid climax when Anais' wild ways have finally caught up with her, it all comes together nicely to leave a feeling of completion. The cast is first rate. Maria de Medeiros, despite not having top billing, get's the bulk of the screen time as Anais. She has a captivating look, and embodies a sense of innocence throughout, despite displaying the most promiscuous nature.

If at times she overdoes the melodrama, she should be commended for managing to purr out some rather flowery dialogue without sounding silly. Many lesser actresses would have faltered. In what is undoubtably the highlight of his film career, Fred Ward instils Henry with some old styled charisma and gusto.

While he gives us a throughly entertaining Henry, I still however have trouble seeing this character as a writer of erotic fiction. He seems too much like a man's man. The original casting choice of Alec Baldwin would make more sense in this case, but I doubt in the end he would have been as entertaining in the role as Ward. Uma Thurman, as June, gives a memorable performance.

It's the most showy character in the film, and Thurman gets the chance for plenty of legitimate scenery chewing. She uses the full scale of emotions and performs a transformation of the character from menacing seductress to pitiful emotional wreck. Despite the surprising comments of one of the other posters here, it really is one of the best performances of her young and promising career. In support, Richard E.

Grant is awkward (probably purposely) as Hugo, Anais' well-hung and faithful husband. Jean-Philippe Ecoffey is adequate as Anais' cousin and brief lover. Kevin Spacey is amusing in what now looks like a cameo, but then was quite an important role for him. Philippe Rousselot's cinematography is beautifully done. He creates an almost surreal feeling of Paris in the 1930's.

The music is also well placed and adds to this mood. Kaufman and Rousselot make the numerous sex-scenes things of beauty rather than titillating, they get creative with them. In fact, the film is surprisingly unarousing considering the amount of sex occurring in it.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing I guess you can decide for yourself. Why on earth it got an NC-17 rating I don't know.

I doubt it would if released today. Not everyone will like this film. It is 'arty farty' so to speak. It's maybe even a little pretentious.

But I find it to be a fascinating and just plain absorbing trip. I have managed to find the time to watch it quite a few times, and it seems to improve with age. I recommend it to any thinking filmgoers. Reviewed by cygnus x-1 9 this film is just flat out exotic in every sense. The period details and characterizations are perfect and the controversial erotic material well integrated into plot and pacing of the film. The basic plot involves Maria DeMedeiros' character's affair with famous author Henry Miller (Fred Ward) and her attraction to his wife June (a smoldering performance by Uma Thurman.) all of the actors and actresses involved do splendid work but it is the beautiful Uma Thurman who steals this film.

She's only in the film about 25 minutes but those scenes radiate an eroticism that has been unmatched by any film since. She is simply gorgeous in this role and any person doubting her acting ability due to her poor script choices recently should check out her performance in this film.

The much talked-about erotic elements and explicit sex scenes that caused the MPAA to create the now useless NC-17 rating, are actually well integrated into the film and actually work to create better understandings of the 3 principle characters through their sexual behaviors and practices. The film isn't all sex like some people think, but when the erotic elements rear their head, the intensity and focus of these scenes throw people off kilter. Overall this is a fantastic film that drags just a little bit near the beginning and end, but is perfectly acted and stunningly filmed.

A great date film or for people who love truly great cinema. Reviewed by zenlunatic 7 If you're drawn to this film as a Henry Miller fan and expecting the Paris of Tropic of Cancer, you'll be let down. This film is a character-driven drama and therefore it is not intended to reproduce Miller's vision. Instead, the film focuses on (then) newly revealed excerpts from Anais Nin's diary. Four characters: Miller, Anais, June (Miller's wife), and Hugo (Anais' husband) complete the love square within which fairly complex relationships play out. The film is primarily concerned with Anais' sexual awakening through her relationship with Miller and his wife. And I have to say, de Medeiros exceeds all expectations in this role.

Not only does she look remarkably like the young Anais, but she also seems to radiate the writer's deep erotic mystique. If nothing else, watch this film just for this performance- besides, she's absolutely gorgeous. Thurman's performance is also quite good, her NYC accent believable and her dirty-girl role works well in contrast to Anais' bourgeois exterior. Ward as Miller took some getting used to, but Grant's character seemed wooden and artificial. Literary and historical references are sparsely sprinkled throughout the film, and although Miller has a few monologues in which he attempts to express the point of his writing, Miller fans will find nothing more than a superficial synopsis. But again, this can't be counted against the film since its focus is Anais.

As far as the eroticism of the new 'Journals' goes, the film succeeds fairly well- but the images convey more than the dialog. This brings me to my final point: the NC-17 rating. Historically, this film was the first with that rating- the MPAA created the rating specifically for this film since they deemed it to risque for an R. By today's standards, this film is an R. If you're looking for softcore, watch 'Emmanuelle' or something.
