SKINOPSISOk, so maybe June (Uma Thurman) doesn't show her goods (unclothed at least,) but you know who does? Brigitte fucking Lahaie who gets lezalicious with Maria de Madeiros (Bruce Willis' girlfriend in Pulp Fiction. Their hot tits and hotter asses roll all over the floor in a haze of sextasticness. Throw in big-bared-mammed Maïté Maillé getting her hot body licked and it's very easy to see why this was the first film to be honored with an NC-17 rating. -- Rick Stanko

REVIEW
The first film to earn the MPAA's NC-17 rating, director Kaufman's steamy adaptation of Anaïs Nin's novel about the passionate love triangle between herself, writer Henry Miller and his wife June is a glorious sexual and literary odyssey through the streets of 1930s Paris. Exquisitely photographed, Henry & June sumptuously evokes a frenzied carnival atmosphere and makes for an extraordinary sensual cinematic experience. Newcomer de Medeiros is dazzling as the doe-eyed Anaïs, a prolific diarist who vigorously committed herself to the pursuit of complete sexual abandon. As Miller, Ward is excellent, exuding a sleazy sexuality and the tenderness of a love-struck poet. Thurman gives a lusty portrayal of the voluptuous bombshell June. Anaïs and June's trysts are steamy and romantic. Editor's Suggestions
