Henry Miller – Prophet of Desire

Henry Miller had five wives and considered himself bound to both the continent of Europe and to the US. This portrait is a close-up of the life of the extraordinary author who, rebellious and narcissistic, entered the realm of the appetites, yet also maintained a vision of a freer society for all humans.

This documentary portrait is a close-up of the the extraordinary and eventful life of Miller not only at original locations in the United States and France, but also with rare and remastered archive material and in the words of people who knew him – such as Erica Jong, Inge Feltrinelli, Tom Schiller, Jeanne Rejaunier and Georg Stefan Troller. Miller’s son, Tony, opens his private archive for the film. The new insights of his biographer, Arthur Hoyle, (“The Unknown Henry Miller“) afford us today an even more intimate view of the man himself.
