Henry & June
Beautiful, captivating and spectacularly uninhibited.
Henry & June
Philip Kaufman's brilliant film -- the first ever to get an NC-17 rating -- explores the erotic life of two individuals who became 20th Century literary giants. Upon meeting American author Henry Miller (Fred Ward) in Paris, 1931, a young writer named Anais Nin (Maria de Medeiros) embarks on a voyage of self-discovery, and faithfully records every experience in her diary. In their search for new truths, Anais and Henry are tantalized by Henry's hauntingly sensual wife, June (Uma Thurman). HENRY & JUNE is an unforgettable journey into the uncharted territory of human relationships, based on the suppressed sections of Anais Nin's diaries.
Director Philip Kaufman, this year’s recipient of the Career Achievement Award presented by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association on Saturday, January 10, will participate in an extended introduction of HENRY & JUNE at 1 PM on Sunday, January 11, at Laemmle Royal Theatre.
