FUR: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus, Reviewed.

One word: Fantastic.

I love this movie, and hated it for the ending. Why the hell my favourite characters in literature flicks seem to have to be dead by the end of everything?!

(the real Diane Arbus)

I didn't know who the hell is Diane (pronounced as Dee-Ann) Arbus until I Wiki her name. She is one of the most influential American photographer known for her interest of taking disturbing, weird pictures. (Ring a bell? Me? I don't know, you tell me ;] ) Oh, and she's dead so she won't be criticizing this movie. I'll do the job.

The movie is about discovering yourself deep within. Not sure if the movie is true or just fictional even though Diane Arbus is a real person. Diane, in the movie, is a photography graduate but instead of doing her own photography projects, she's assisting her husband Allan. After all the effort of keeping her dissatisfaction of her life to herself, conforming to traditions and the many sleepless nights, she wanted to start her own project. Hubby gave green light!

Before...

After! You see, hairy men are sometimes hottie material!

She was so intrigued by her new neighbour Lionel Sweeney who actually looked like Chewbacca! Lionel had hypertrichosis (I spelled it right, right?); that super-hairy disorder thingy and was once in the Circus Freak shows. Oh, and he has this other problem that I don't know what it's called; his lungs shrink as he got older. Not to be mistaken with asthma, people.

Knowing Lionel brought out the true Diane Arbus; who's fascinated by special looking people that the societies at the moment deem ugly. Oh, and of course there is a love story. Movie cliches.

I won't tell how that someone mentioned died. It'll spoil the fun! Go figure. This movie is seriously awesome.
