"Fur" (2006) Nicole Kidman, Robert Downey Jr. Your thoughts?!
Question: well... what did you think?
Answers: well... what did you think?
I have mixed feeling about the movie. But they aren't as mixed as you may think. Imagine an imaginary biopic on pop star Madonna's life with Guy Richie as her Svengali, the man behind her career, and you'll get a feel of how seriously flawed and imaginary this film is: It can only work if you have absolutely no knowledge of the subject, or just choose to ignore all the facts. It's a shame because once you remove all reference to Diane Arbus, this film could have stood up on its own as an interesting study on fetishism and a good companion piece to Secretary. 4/10
A strange movie..
It was fascinating. I had seen a book with some of Diane Arbus's photographs, but didn't know anything about her. After seeing the movie I read a biography of her. She was an interesting and unusual person.
