La Stanza della parole is a low budget version of the Henry Miller + Anais Nin story, quite possibly intended to profit from the popularity of the film Henry & June which came out the same year. The word 'rip-off' springs to mind, but I wouldn't go quite that far.
This soft-core drama has very much the looks of a film made for cable TV. Its dosage of eroticism is designed keep the punters interested while not giving too much to shock the easily offended. Consequently, it does not really work for either.
Having said all this, Martine Brochard makes a fine Anais Nin, she seems better suited to the role than Maria de Medeiros was in Henry & June.
