Trailer - 'Henry Miller: Asleep And Awake'

A new trailer for Henry Miller: Asleep And Awake, Tom Schiller's 35 minute Henry Miller documentary (1975), has been posted on-line. I've attempted to embed the video below, but I've never posted video before--maybe it won't work. If not, go watch it on Flixya.

The trailer may also be viewed on the Indiepix website. Indiepix is now selling this as a DVD or even as a download to your computer. The website describes the film this way:

Filmed when the author was 81, "Henry Miller Asleep & Awake" is a voyage of ideas about life, writing, sex, spirituality, nightmares, and New York that captures the warmth, vigor and high animal spirits of a singular American artist. The man is Henry Miller and the room is his bathroom. It's a miraculous shrine covered with photos and drawings collected by the author over the course of his long and fruitful life. Graciously, in his raspy, sonorous voice, he points out the highlights of his improvised gallery, speaking of philosophers, writers, painters,mad kings, women, and friends.

There are a few stills of Henry from the production on the Indiepix website as well.
