Captures the Lyricism of Anais Nin's Book

The story is obviously slanted from Nin's perspective, as is her autobiographical novel of the same name. However, this is what lends it its poetry and lusty beauty. A decadent movie about decadent lives! In some ways, the film feels much like a time capsule. A must see for fans of Nin, Henry Miller, 30's Paris, or decadence minus mind-numbing drugs. Much better job here than the adaptation of Miller's Tropic of Cancer in the 70's. |
