Fur - An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus

February 8, 2010 - 10:07 am No Comments

Fur - An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus I’ve seen some weird movies in my time, but this is the strangest and not in the right direction. It is described as an imaginary portrait of the artist Diane Arbus.

What is the amount of imagination and true to her life I do not know. I only know a little about it, and had seen some of his photographs. If one believes in this “imagined life” then I would say she was not only strange, but positively crazy and Kinky.

The problem may be my sense of humor. They call me a philistine, and I do not think I’m going to give something back, when I say that both the bath and shaving scenes of hysterical laughter make me mourn.

I am sure that this is not what the director wanted. But if you have a sense of humor at all, probably should not watch this movie.

I do not know how the actors through it. I was on the floor.

Because I Said So

Because I Said So As a major fan of Diane Keaton, had high hopes for this rom-com. I really tried to like it, but alas, another option on the film wrong of me. Now I can sit through a bunch of garbage - trust me (ask my husband) but I found this very embarrassing, not by content but by the quality.

Diane, once again, plays a high-pitched, screamy ‘Mam’. The same reason why I hated “Something’s Gotta Give ‘.

A huge glass of wine was needed when the movie ended just to overcome all the girly screaming. This is the kind of thing that probably would have liked when I was 17 years along with the CD of Mandy Moore, no doubt. If this is all it takes to enter a film then I’m giving up my day job.

In fact, it shows that if only to make you appreciate your own mother.
