PART IV - Brenda Venus - Dinner With Henry Miller 1979 - PART IV

Dinner With Henry is a rare, 30-minute documentary about Henry Miller. It is exactly what the title implies: footage of Henry having dinner. With him at the table is the film crew, and actress/model Brenda Venus, to whom Henry was enamoured in the final years of life. Henry - at age 87 - spends the majority of his time speaking on a number of subjects, the most persistent of which is Blaise Cendrars. Occasionally, he complains about the food. That is all. It may not be of much interest to a general audience, but is a curious "slice of life" for any Miller fan who likes to imagine being at the table with him.

He's speaking about Frédéric Louis Sauser, better known as Blaise Cendrars.

she comes accross as an airhead, but from the way she looks I'm sure henry wasn't too bothered

[mabood1212]

I would suppose I am not the only person here who feels that Henry Miller is a kindred spirit.

[mabood1212]

Henry was a genius.

Fantastic Thanks

By Golly, what a piece of work he was. It was certainly interesting to see a man of his age and reputation keeping a stiff upper lip before his most important bedding with the Grim Reaper.

P.S: His hope for getting the Nobel Prize was just absurd.
