Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus

The Movie

Nicole Kidman played the housewife turned world-class photographer, Diane Arbus. I liked the role she played and the way she played it. But, overall.... this might be one of those movies, after which, Gail won't let me pick the film next time.

More Fur

 


Robert Downey, Jr. played the upstairs neighbor with a disease that
caused hair growth all over his body. In this fictional account, he is the
one who turns Diane Arbus on to the lives and images of the strange
people she went on to photograph. His character was, in my opinion,
too far-fetched and the weak part of the movie.

 


We did have a good time, though. We saw the movie when we were in
Tampa, Florida.

 


Gail gets popcorn before the movie.
