Henry & June is distinguished by brilliant production design of randy Paris, circa 1931. Early in the film author Henry Miller (Fred Ward) criticises D.H. Lawrence: "He makes too much out of sex, he makes a damn gospel out of it, my way sex is natural like birth or death". The sex in Henry & June is not groundbreakingly explicit, but there is a lot of it. Anais Nin (portuguese actress Maria de Medeiros) is a spoilt emotionally immature woman who seeks sexual experimentation for no other reason then lust in the guise of artful reasoning like "I need to know people who are alive." Uma Thurman plays Henry Miller's bisexual wife June. "I've made mistakes, but I've made them superbly," she says with a deep throaty voice.
The Human Stain(2003)
Superior adaption of Philip Roth novel.
Director Robert Benton has adapted Roth's incendiary book
with much subtlety. Anthony Hopkins' performance is both towering and vulnerable. Gary Sinise and Ed Harris
are reliable, and the young cast excel.
For using the word "spooks" in class, teacher Coleman Silk (Hopkins) becomes the target of a witch-hunt. His wife dies, his
reputation is ruined. Meeting reclusive writer Nathan Zuckerman (Sinise),
he reflects on his life, but any notion of calm are scuppered whwn he falls in love with
the emotionally damaged Faunia (Nicole Kidman), 30 years his
junior...
Benton fluidly flies this American tragedy across time, moral and ethics, and across
scenes of privilege, poverty, prejudice, boxing and eroticism. Magnificent.

David Rabe's tale of the cocaine-influenced days of Hollywood in the 1980s is a bitter rambling of what humans do with too much drive, power, and money. Casting agent Eddie (Sean Penn) and his roomie Mickey (Kevin Spacey) talk about sex and success, syntax and meaning. A seamy slice of life about a circle of L.A. friends - self-absorbed, smart-assy, driven, drug-infused people desperately looking for happiness in all the wrong places.

Funny, sad, hopeful - the ultimate black comedy. Cat Stevens' music is one of the highlights of this great work.
