There remain too many things in life that go unexplained, whether they want to be or not. As each person reflects on their own life, and those that have left some indelible mark so much as that we want to know more about it, there is always that want, that need, for more. For some it remains "normal" and no explanation is necessary. For many it never comes at all. But for those rare few individuals that are lucky enough to inspire, create and live such beautiful and profound lives there is the unimaginable. This is my understanding of what Steven Shainberg believed about Diane Arbus and the incredible work she produced in her life. With every aspect of production at its best, this film is a mysterious and magical exploration of the unknown, the possible, and the improbable. A love story at its core, Fur is heartfelt and tragic, beautiful and frightening, uplifting and fanciful. Life is perspective: see what you will.
