A romantic past

I can't believe it, for an erotic film, I watched it from the beginning to the end, and I was even touched. This film cannot simply be said to be an erotic film, it is also a very good literary film. It wasn't until I watched the film that I realized that it was actually based on real events.
To be honest, I don't really like Henry Miller. I have never read this man's book in history. Just from the image in the film, I don't appreciate this man very much.
He seems to use more than love for women. Whether it is for Joan or Anais, he has always imagined them as the images in his books. What he fell in love with was only the characters he wrote. It wasn't until the end of the credits where he rode his bike behind Anais and Hugo's car that I sensed some of his charisma. Perhaps it is these charms that attract Anais: he has energy, he can play, and he enjoys life.
As for the man in the show, I still prefer Anais' husband, Hugo. Not only because he's the most handsome I think in the show, but also because -- even though he's vaguely aware of his wife's infidelity, he still loves her and tolerates her. To friends, also enough loyalty. It was precisely because she was grateful for this man's love for her that Anais asked Hugo to reveal her story to the public after her death.
Uma Thurman is so sexy, those eyes are so seductive. She has the beauty of a woman's strength and resilience.
On the other hand, Medello, who plays Anais, I think is weak. Maybe it's because the weak and crying girl in "Pulp Fiction" left a deep impression on me. Personally, I feel that Medello is more suitable for the role in "Pulp Fiction", pure and pitiful. Her eyes gave people a kind of pitiful feeling, and her appearance made people feel distressed at a glance.
The play of the two beauties is really eye-catching.
If you love to watch literary films, I recommend you to watch this film, you will never be disappointed.
