Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus - 01-11-2007, 04:39 PM


Starring Nicole Kidman as Diane Arbus

Plot Outline: Turning her back on her wealthy, established family, Diane Arbus (Kidman) falls in with Lionel Sweeney (Downey Jr.), an enigmatic mentor who introduces Arbus to the marginalized people who help her become one of the most revered photographers of the twentieth century.


Has anyone heard about this movie or seen it?

I read about it in a little blurb in a people magazine from a couple months ago.

Reviews were terrible, it ended up on more than a few "Worst Movies of 2006" lists; and apparently the plot is more fiction than biography.

I am a huge fan of Diane Arbus. This movie blows.

It doesn't blow. It sucks!

yeah, i just got through watching it. I think if it hadn't been "based" on Diane Arbus' life, then it might be a better movie. But for the way it used her as a central character, it really took away from the movie itself.
thanks...
