Fur is a very strange movie indeed. Diane Arbus is supposed to have been one of the best photographers of the last century. This is a story of how her life might have been, the thoughts and experiences she may have had. If you don't like weird, this will probably not be for you. I found it intriguing and engrossing. Nicole Kidman plays the leading lady. Opposite her plays a man with a very hairy condition - hence the name Fur The other double-feature movie we watched was Blott on the landscape. A hilarious story of an British lady who wants to stop people from building a highway through her large estate in the country, and is helped by her gardener who uses some unconventional methods to assist her. Great fun. I don't like violence so the other two Tarantino movies Kill Bill and Kill Bill II don't get my vote. Its about killing start, middle, end, and in between with hardly a story (also available in Blu ray Kill Bill Box Set). We had a bit of a video week this week. We also watched Volver with Penelope Cruz. This was a rather strange movie, but well worth watching. I don't want to give the game away. Intriguing. |
