From: the little bird Category: Films Date: 25 October 2007 Time: 07:36 AM Review: 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.
