The Henry Miller Odyssey
Robert Snyder
Writer Henry Miller, the colossus of Big Sur, at work, living in, revising old haunts in Brooklyn and Paris. He generously reveals how he saw his era, his peers and himself. He recalls his painful youth and his struggle to survive as a writer. He talks about art, dreams, and the allure of Paris. He reads passages from his works and enjoys himself with friends. What emerges is Miller’s charm, his gentleness and his lust for life.

Fuller was renowned for his comprehensive perspective on the world's problems. For more than five decades he developed pioneering solutions reflecting his commitment to the potential of innovative design to create technology that does "more with less" and thereby improve human lives. He spent much of his life traveling the world lecturing and discussing his ideas with thousands of audiences. Now more relevant than ever, this film captures Fuller's ideas and thinking told in his own words.
