Although Fred Ward would not be most people's idea of the sexiest leading man, this tale based on the works of Anais Nin is far steamier than most of the cornball soft-core porn that passes for erotica these days, and the literary subplot makes an interesting period backdrop.
Phillip Kaufman's adaptation of the Anais Nin book of the same name is mainly remembered today as the first film to receive an NC-17 rating. This little footnote in film history will probably remain the film's only claim to fame, as I thought it was otherwise a rather lackluster ...( read more)

This must be one of the most beautiful erotic movies I have ever watched. One of those movies based on a true story, in this case based on diaries. Wonderful performances of both Uma Thurman & Maria de Madeiros. Definitely worth seeing when mum is not near.
the book makes a lot more sense, but the film moved me. :0) Maria de Medeiros' got, i don't know, such a childish beauty... i like it.

Something of a directorial sequel to The Unbearable Lightness of Being and supposedly very similar.
A decent film. Uma Thurman totally steals the film. One of her very best performances. Her portrayal of June Miller is completely irresistable in this film.
