    interesting

    This 17 minute feauterette can be found on Blue Underground's DVD of the movie "Quiet Days in Clichy", It begins with Barney Rosset explaining the difference in his mind of Erotica and pornography which is a bit faulty. He then goes on to tell how he admired Miller's work and his trying and eventually succeeding in getting Henry's book "Tropic of Cancer" published. He tells what Miller meant to him and he seems passionate when he does so. As well as giving antidotes It's a fairly telling featurette and I actually prefer it to the movie itself. Barring a few sad comments that Rosset seems to tell.

    My Grade: C
