Product: Fur - An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006)
Rating: 5.0
Spirit Speaks
An inspired, creative and touching exploration of how Diane Arbus' art may have emanated. This imaginary portrait of Diane Arbus portrays her as open, instinctual and compassionate, true to herself, to her spirit. I think she would have liked it. Perhaps even it is better described as an imaginal portrait of Diane Arbus as it seems to respond from a deeply inuitive ;evel to her work. She quits her job as Vogue photographer hubbies assistant to explore her own photographiy "photographing the neigbors" and falls in love with the mysterious elegant enigmatic upstars neighbor, a circus "wolfman". I must confess to a slight bias towards this Beauty & the Beast love story. The film tells the story in a cinema verite neutrality that allows the viewer to penetrate and explore the many things it asks us to consider.
