Fur - An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus

Film Description

Was Diane Arbus a brilliant innovator whose photographs captured the beauty in the most desperate of subjects? Or was she an exploiter of 'freaks,' shilling pictures of the deformed as a modern-day sideshow? Regardless of where one stands on her work, few can argue its impact on the art world. Director Steven Shainberg boldly brings the artist to the big screen. As the title states, this isn't a biopic - it's an "imaginary portrait," and while some might take exception to Fur's surreal spin on reality, others might find the unconventional film a fitting tribute to the always unconventional artist.
