Henry Miller Asleep and Awake (1975)
Image by poppet with a camera
Yesterday I watched a bunch of documentaries: Barbet Schroeder’s "Idi Amin Dada: Autoportrait", Arena on William S. Burroughs, and best of all Tom Schiller’s "Henry Miller Asleep and Awake". It’s a rather short film (35 mins) of Henry talking about some of the many photos that cover the walls of his bathroom. It’s more enjoyable than it sounds and if you need an incentive then it features a fabulously staged scene where Miller is surprised by his very naked and very young wife.
