Product: Fur - An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006)
Rating: 3.0
Very slow start, but an ok finish
If you don't know much about Diane Arbus, this imaginary fable may arouse interest, though it's not factual, warns the prelude. The whole thing is a weird love affair between the tortured housewife, Kidman, and her carnival freak boyfriend, Downey, who looks like Wolfman Jack. Was he real? We aren't told. The look of the film is its high point: gorgeous colors, wonderful set decoration that evokes a cleaned up 1950s NYC and a nicely evocative soundtrack. Too bad this didn't try to get closer to reality. Then, the two hours spent might seem more worthwhile.
