http://imdb.com/title/tt0099762/

Surprising cast. Uma Thurman and Kevin Spacey pop up (out). The Anais Nin actress has the right 
look, but unsurprisingly can't capture Nin interiority. Miller is only a buffoon in the film, the actor lacks 
charisma to pull it off. It starts like mild soft porn and gets better. So hard to capture intelligence on 
celluloid. The strolling acrobats and circus performers add a silly note to proceedings. Hard core 
Miller fans will enjoy in an ironic way.
