Product: Fur - An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006)
Rating: 4.0
A metaphorical portrait
A declared work of fiction, this film is nonetheless a fascinating sketch of a true outsider who found her own place. Beauty wealth are no promise of happiness, but work that satisfies and relationships that fulfill are. Arbus eventually cut short her own life, but it had been a rich life. One reviewer remarked that the film was reduced to nothing but a love story, but having come away with more but I must disagree. The relationship is more than romantic, as the film is more than a love story. It is a dream that serves as a metaphor for personal courage and creativity.
