What Percentage Of Women Have A Brazilian

The sensuality of the freak

Susana Funes



knew nothing of the film in Venezuela and other English-speaking countries badly titled "Portrait of a passion" ( Fur: An imaginary portrait of Diane Arbus , 2006). The copy

lent me the original title did not appear. A friend only managed to say very quickly that was based on the life of a photographer, without more detail. And what appeared on the cover were Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey Jr. in a more or less romantic.

be honest, things did not call too much attention. However, being a photographer and Downey Jr. as interesting roles usually do, I decided to see it.
At first I loved the warning is not a biopic of Diane Arbus, American photographer who after fifty dedicated to attracting the freaks of his day, dwarfs, twins, the mentally ill, giants and other circus freaks .

The film is an homage, a fantasy, a fabled history with fictional characters and situations that could impact the creators imagined Arbus's life, propelling to become one of the most revolutionary and important photographers of the twentieth century.

Blending reality and fantasy, a trip similar to Alice in Wonderland -the book was a favorite of Arbus and in the film, Diane also expect a cup of tea, the film tells the entire internal process, psychological and emotional, experienced by the photographer to produce his first picture. Is the transformation of a shy woman in an original and powerful artist. Fiction


to reveal reality

Directed by Steven Shainberg, the director of Secretary ( Secretaty , 2002), the film I was hooked from the start with a vintage aesthetic that is quickly disrupted and crossed by the visions of strange worlds, then that Arbus would capture with your camera.

A light similar to those commercials of the fifties, when he wanted to sell the great American life, introducing the world of wealth and education of emerging affluent Arbus and, initially, she intends to remain a member attending her husband, an advertising and fashion photographer.

But immediately a series of frames and zooms a twisted details of that reality begins to reveal the unique perspective of Arbus. We then introduced imaging, color, texture and lighting, to the nostalgic tone, the empty racks in the world after box of detergent sold, or represented "a loving husband, but distant and conservative.

A diligent life of mother and wife is aggravated by an exciting world of dwarves, werewolves, twins, transvestites ... different and fascinating beings, presented by a mysterious new neighbor, Lionel, played by Robert Downey Jr who, after a tangle of hair, you see only one tender and enigmatic eyes until the end of the film.


The beauty of the unusual

Shainberg knows the world of Arbus. His uncle was a friend photographer and he grew up seeing their pictures on the walls of your home. "Most parents read stories to their children at night while I, when I went to bed, walked past the photo of the Giant Jew," he told Tripictures, referring to one of the most popular photos Arbus: Jewish Giant at Home with His Parents in The Bronx , NY (1970).

Although the film created many expectations, not critics or the box office was treated very well. The approach to the psychological maturity transformation "Arbus is not a Madame Bovary, much less. And some rhythm problems threaten the total immersion the viewer into the story.

However, very well played by both Kidman and Robert Downey Jr., I remained attentive and I found it interesting to upload the photos, as Arbus, the environment of a particular twisted sensuality, especially with the character of Lionel.

The mysterious is always attractive, but in this case is strange, unusual and what some might seem monstrous that attracts Diane. There is, for example, the scene in a bar of dwarfs, where she is enthralled with the attentions of a couple, or the dance of love with a transvestite.

Certain scenes like the look of the house freaks of Arbus-indeed, all real people because they do not want to use special effects, the film reminded me Big Fish (2003).

The most obvious reference to the relationship arising between Lionel and Diane is Beauty and the Beast (1946) by Jean Cocteau. However, Lionel also reminded me of the Minotaur Los Reyes de Julio Cortázar, adorable and monstrous, guide and protector of the arts, unconventional worlds, the deeper truth.

And, although Beauty and the Beast , Belle falls in love with the monster despite his physical deformities, in FUR , Diane falls for Lionel precisely because of their physical unusual.

Inspired by the book Diane Arbus: A Biography by Patricia Bosworth , not the best movie that might be made of this curious artist. However, I found an interesting tribute to his aesthetics and imagery, and an original, rare, sensual and beautiful to show the dilemmas they could take someone able to see the grotesque in a glamorous fashion show and, instead, perceive the beauty of a child with a large mole on his face purple.


Plot:

the mid-50's, Diane Arbus is an exemplary housewife who works as assistant to her husband, a fashion and advertising photographer. The arrival of a new curious neighbor, Lionel, who as a child was exhibited at fairs by his abundant body hair, marks the beginning of a journey to worlds and their unconventional inner discovery, culminating in his transformation from docile wife to avant-garde artist.
