  • Starring: Nicole Kidman, Robert Downey Jr.
  • Summary: Fur creates a ravishing imaginary portrait of the visionary artist Diane Arbus. Much as an actual Arbus photo transports us into strange and unfamiliar worlds, Fur travels through the looking glass to explore the transformation of a shy woman into a powerfully original artist.

    Much of the film is as strange and oddly beautiful as one of Arbus' own photographs, bold in its attempt to find new ways of cracking the biopic chestnut and sensitive in its portrayal of a 1950s woman who, like so many of her contemporaries, finds herself imprisoned in a "Good Housekeeping" nightmare.

    Far-out touches and liberal application of metaphor are compensated for by intensity and two mesmerising performances.

    Problem: Kidman is the only one in the theater who is turned on. The rest of us are giggling.

    Though a mesmerizing performances by Nicole Kidman and beautiful aestesthics, the movie lacks that extra spark that would make it a memorable biopic. Instead it's just one in the bunch.… Expand

    It's an awful freaky drama romance that features Nicole Kidman. A love story of the beauty and the beast that takes place in the beginning of a century and is based on exploration and exploitation of a fetish sexuality of a young shy woman. There's nothing sexy about it.… Expand
