The first half borrows heavily from Henry & June (1990)

Disappointing and not so insightful low budget documentary on the writer Anais Nin, which borrows heavily from Philip Kaufman's 1990 movie, Henry & June (see that instead) rather than reinterpreting imagery from Nin's Diary. This feels like a cheap re-enactment. The documentary is mainly seen through the feminist lens, but fails to emphasise that Nin's life of sexual experimentation and affairs was only possible through the financial support by her wealthy, banker husband, Hugo. The romance of Nin's love affairs diminishes when you understand that Henry, Gonzalo and others depended on her for financial support. Sadly, it doesn't explore the larger questions associated with Nin's work about veracity, artifice, contrivance and narcissism.

Haven't watched it yet, only coming across it in 2020 however; I'm hoping it will be an excellent watch..

Most people are afraid of Anais Nin, which means they are afraid of themelves. What people forget is, they don't have to be her, or what she projects. Their choice not to be her.

I have read some of her works, and seen movies based on her works, and I liked. I'm a man, and I don't feel weak becaue of her work or movie adptations. Grow sperm you weaklings.

Poor effort.

Erotic Adventures Of Anais Nin (2015) -

I'm interested in writers and I would have liked to know more about Anais, but this was just too poorly made to represent her well. As such I had to turn it off less than half way through so I'll have to read her works and find her for myself.

It seemed intent on exploring the more sordid side of sex, because it didn't explore the sexuality in an artistic appreciative way so much as just showing it as dirty. Porn not erotica. Which I would imagine was not what Ms Nin was going for.

The production values were cheap and the interruptions of those discussing it just got in the way.

Unscored as Unfinished.

Not so good.

Hardly worth the time to watch. Pretending to be a scholarly look at this very original woman, they do not even pronounce her name correctly. Not that hard to investigate; my daughter is named for Anaïs Nin--that would be Ah-nah-ees--and the actress portraying her is just ridiculous.

I suggest "Henry and June" instead.

A Nice Synopsis

My only other visual experience of Nin,s life is the movie Henry and June, one of my all time favorite movies. Having this mostly documentary approach was interesting. Yes, every time someone said Anice instead of Anais, it hurt my teeth like someone running nails across a chalkboard. But it was otherwise an hour of summarizing her life and impulses, and I found it usefully informative.
