'Fur': An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus


Nicole Kidman as an actress has always intrigued me.
She has played some wonderful characters which are sure to leave a lasting impression on the viewer's mind. The most recent of her films which I had the opportunity of watching is 'Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus'.
I am still gushing from the experience of having watched it.

'Fur' was a unique film. Disliked and hated by many for not having been a true biopic. But appreciated by many for its visionary quality. Nicole Kidman is one actor who surprises us often with her choice of roles. She has a magnetic presence in this very film too. Just like the film 'Birthday Girl' she uncannily inhabits the unique character, which however is accusedly fictional in the manifestations of personal traits.

Nicole Kidman can always be trusted to portray out-of-the-box characters! And she does it with aplomb in 'Fur' too!
