Review of Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006) by Mikhail B — 09 Jan 2012
A quality story behind one of the photographs by the famous revolutionary photographer, Diane Arbus. In its biographical part is a true depiction of Diane's family life of a daughter born into a rich family with lots of conditionalities and rules, who, following the parents' advice, marries an owner of a photo studio in her 16; but strives to break free and is curious about the strange facets of life.
As a new person, with a very unusual sickness occupies the upper floor of her house, she becomes obsessed with him until her passion starts threatening her family life. Their relations help her understand herself better and seek the release of her sublime inner tension in creative photography.
A very interesting movie, though often disturbing and frightening. And it's a bloody disaster that Nicole Kidman doesn't get naked. She really should have.
