About this product

Product Information

Was Diane Arbus a brilliant innovator whose photographs captured the beauty in the most desperate of subjects? Or was she an exploiter of "freaks," shilling pictures of the deformed as a modern-day sideshow? Regardless of where one stands on her work, few can argue its impact on the art world. In FUR: AN IMAGINARY PORTRAIT OF DIANE ARBUS, director Steven Shainberg makes a bold first attempt at bringing the artist to the big screen. The film opens with Arbus (Nicole Kidman) living as a depressed housewife in a ritzy Park Avenue apartment. Assisting her husband Allen (Ty Burrell) in his photography studio, Arbus helps him shoot ads for women's magazines. One night, after spying her mysterious next door neighbor--a sharply dressed man with a hood over his face--Arbus decides to heed her husband's advice to step out and take some photos of her own. She climbs the stairs to her neighbor's apartment with the intention of taking his portrait, and there she meets Lionel (Robert Downey, Jr.). Lionel suffers from hypertrichosis, a disease that causes thick hair to grow over every inch of his body, including his face. He and Arbus strike up a flirtatious friendship, and he introduces her to the underworld of New York. They party with dwarves, dominatrixes, and circus performers--all future subjects of Arbus photographs. Arbus's marriage soon begins to fall apart, and her relationship with Lionel builds towards a traumatic, but transformative, end. In an unusual twist, screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson has completely fabricated the character of Lionel, and his ensuing effect on Arbus. He is Wilson's fantastical idea of what might have spurred Arbus's metamorphosis from repressed housewife to daring documentarian of those living on the fringe. As the title states, this isn't a biopic--it's an "imaginary portrait," and while some might take exception to FUR's surreal spin on reality, others might find the unconventional film a fitting tribute to the always unconventional artist.

A Good Fairy Tale/ A Bad Representation Of Arbus
Diane Arbus was an amazing photographer. She had a way of capturing and even finding beauty in things that repulse or frighten the average person. I didn't have high hopes for this movie at all. It's rare for a fictional movie based on a real person to work on any level. And I was right, as far as Diane Arbus goes this does not work at all. But if you take out any association with her, and if you like adult fairy tales you could like this. It's well done, artistic, visually engaging, and leaves you feeling both love and hate for it. Out of respect for Diane Arbus I'm going to embrace the hate. 2 1/2 Stars.

Great movie
I was surprised by certain parts of this movie but after reading a bio about Diane Arbus it fit together wonderfully. This movie is entertaining but not a bio of Arbus. Wonderful chemistry between Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey Jr.

Very Unusual
This just seemed weird, depressing. The acting is very good, but the story is sad, gloomy, and very odd. Don't buy the relationship or the extreme long hair growth if this is really to be believed.

Fur: An Step Into the Imagination
I saw it one late night on HBO, and I noticed the main actors of the story were Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey Jr. I love both these actors, especially Downey because he is not afraid to act a part that is considered blasé or weird, and both of them act in movies that are not always seen as the Blockbusters of the seasons. Fur shows a depth in acting of both of the characters, as well offers the audience a step into the unknown, off beaten path into a very coloring and interesting world of many people we don't usually recognize, especially in mainstream cinema. I highly recommend this film for walk "in fur" into a beautiful and poignant visual adventure!
