Is it hot in here or is it just the movie?

Have you ever seen Henry & June? I just finished watching the movie for the first time; I'd been interested before, but never had an opportunity to see it. It's based on the love affair of Henry Miller & Anais Nin in the 1930s.

I have to say that this was probably the most erotic movie I've ever seen. I don't mean cheap eroticism-- sex & naked bodies writhing around sweaty & artlessly. There was this one scene where Anais is dancing with her husband, during the time when she's experiencing her sexual awakening, and she looks into the eyes of every man in the room and they literally seem to make love merely through their eyes. The man may have been bored, dancing with a slow partner, but as soon as he looks into her eyes (which were gorgeous, lined like a cat and deeply innocent yet sexual) his face changes. I think it also dealt with the many faces of eroticism so well-- Anais is sort of like a cat-- she pretty much rubs up sensuously against anyone-- male or female. And the sex scenes weren't all muscle and wet sculpted body-- there was imperfection, and in that imperfection, incredible beauty.

Anyway. If you've never seen this movie, I would say watch it. But only if you're prepared to think naughty thoughts, and then feel redeemed by a sense of love and friendship in the end.
