I saw this film on video a year or two ago and have not seen it since, although I've tried to find it again. In fact, I've tried to purchase it--so far without success. It bears being seen several times.
Anyone who has read and enjoyed Henry Miller, or who appreciates Miller's preeminent role in 20th-century American literature, needs to see this film. It is basically one long interview with Miller, who by the time of its release was in his early 80s; he died at 88 in 1980. Yet he is sharp as a tack in the film and as charming as ever. There are scenes with him swimming and cycling, and a visit with him to his old Paris haunts.
Nothing conveys what Miller was like as well as this film does. By his own admission, his writings, marvellous as they were, did not reveal him: "...the books you write. They're not you. They're not me sitting here, this Henry Miller. They belong to someone else. It's terrible." (Barbara Kraft, "The Last Days of Henry Miller," Hudson Review, Autumn 1993, vol. 46(3):477)
Listening to Miller, seeing him gesticulate, watching him move and reflect--these complement Miller's writings perfectly for the serious student of his work.
