In terms of genres this is something of a one-off and coyly misleading via citing novelist Henry Miller in the title whilst actually taking as its basis the diaries of his some-time lover Anais Nin, so much so that it may just as easily have been titled the Diary of Anais - Frank. Director Kaufman plays fast and loose between an off-the-wall quartet comprising Miller, his wife June and a second married couple Hugo and Anais. Although I wasn't around at the time the film appears to have caught the atmosphere of Paris in the very early thirties albeit its primary purpose is to chronicle the erotic awakening of Anais via her growing attraction to both Miller and his wife. The fourth member of the quartet, Hugo, has least emotional depth and at times seems to be there solely to make up the numbers. Definitely not for everyone but certainly interesting.
