Filmed when the author was
81, "Henry Miller Asleep & Awake" is a
voyage of ideas about life, writing, sex, spirituality,
nightmares, and New York that captures the warmth, vigor
and high animal spirits of a singular American artist.
The man is Henry Miller and
the room is his bathroom. It's a miraculous shrine covered
with photos and drawings collected by the author over
the course of his long and fruitful life. Graciously,
in his raspy, sonorous voice, he points out the highlights
of his improvised gallery, speaking of philosophers,
writers, painters, mad kings, women, and friends.
