...princess who finds flint beneath her gentility as she learns to love -- and forces herself to stay with -- this difficult man as he establishes his ministry in a small town. She must find comfort in moments of domestic grace: a chat with her loving father (Max von Sydow), a caress of her pregnant belly by Henrik, who understands that, inside her, there is magic greater than his misery...

Somebody in V.I. Warshawski has the right phrase for this...

But adult sexuality, even when investigated as discreetly as it is in Henry & June, is deemed objectionable. "You can cut off a breast," says Kaufman, "but you can't caress it. The violent majority is dictating to a tender minority...
