• Much as an actual Diane Arbus photo transports us into strange and unfamiliar worlds, Fur travels through the looking glass to explore the transformation of a shy woman into a powerfully original artist. Nicole Kidman stars as ‘Diane Arbus’, a devoted wife and mother whose innate talents and dark obsessions are profoundly at odds with the conventional life she leads in 1958 New Yorik. Robert Downey Jr. co-stars as ‘Lionel’, an enigmatic new neighbor who launches Diane on her journey to becoming the artist she is meant to be. Inspired by Patricia Bosworth’s book Diane Arbus: A Biography.
