series From the Third Eye: Evergreen Review on Film
Directed by Jens Jørgen Thorsen | 1970
With Paul Valjean, Wayne Rodda, Ulla Koppel
Based on Henry Miller’s autobiographical novella and banned by the US government upon its release, this bawdy picaresque follows two struggling writers as they embark on erotic escapades across Paris. With its frank sex scenes, New Wave-inspired stylistic experimentation, and songs by psych-rocker Country Joe McDonald, this Danish production captures the freewheeling spirit of Miller’s prose. Rosset, who fought a landmark Supreme Court battle to publish Tropic of Cancer, considered this Grove-distributed feature to be the most successful screen adaptation of Miller’s work.
