Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus


This was a brilliant film. It was erotic and unusual. Diane enacts out all her deepest desires when she encounters a new neighbour with a genetic condition that opens her world to a "freak" paradise. Its charming, smart and at some times uncomfortable. Jr.'s character has strange stereotypes of rich women in their childhood. I certainly would have a few questions for him about this movie. A love story like all love stories where unforseen circumstances alter the future of the two lovers. Its the recognition and acceptance of one's own differences and desires and exploring them. This movie was definitely strange, but moving and interesting at the same time. I recommend this movie for people who like this kind of genre and quirkiness.
