Review

Author Henry Miller is a revered literary god among the pantheon of American iconoclast writers, but there is ample proof to indicate that he thought of himself primarily as a libido on the loose. Miller spent, and profligately so, much of his adult life among the hookers and other easy-virtue ladies of Paris, France, which is where the action of Henry & June (1990), a biographical bacchanal based on Miller and his wife June, picks up and leaves off. Casual sex with a steady stream of willing, able prostitutes, recreational lesbianism, and pimping out one’s wife to a predatory, though foxy, femme may not be the culturally revolutionary activities that they were in the day of Henry Miller’s prime, but they still make for prime movie entertainment.
