Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus 夢幻皮草


本想看"Babel", "Marie Antoinette"或"Casino Royale", 但時間及地點限制, 最後揀了看由Nicole Kidman及Robert Downey Jr.主演的"Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus"(夢幻皮草).

導演是Steven Shainberg, 名字較陌生, 亦沒有什麼有名的前作. 看電影前多事click了Rotten Tomatoes一看, 只有25%好評, 沒有詳細再看, 但立時有點後悔買了戲票. 不過或許抱著沒什麼期望, 反而覺得電影不至於太差.

話說Diane Arbus(1923-1971)是一著名猶太藉攝影師, 以拍攝一些邊緣人為名. 出生於富裕家庭的Diane(pronounced Dee-Ann), 原名Diane Nemerov, 下嫁演員兼攝影師Allan Arbus, 夫妻檔在時裝界享負盛名.

電影說的是Diane Arbus與丈夫在攝影工作上的合作, 及因認識了鄰居怪客Lionel Sweeney(Robert Downey Jr.), 被他啟發開始用邊緣人物作主題來拍攝, 然後更發展婚外情的故事. 電影橋段有點鬆散, 開首刻意製造懸疑及恐怖感覺, 但到了電影中段觀眾也不太明白導演想說的是什麼故事.

當然有名牌女星Nicole Kidman幫忙, 電影始終有點號召力, 亦有點可觀性. 自從"The Others"及之後的"The Hours", Kidman都好像變了懸疑片的搶手女角. 她在"Fur"片中演技仍然可觀, 那份囁人的感覺依然獨一無二, 給人印象深刻. Robert Downey Jr. 全片大都以"毛人"現身, 只見雙眼, 直至末段才見其真面目, 演技沒太多發揮機會.

電影配樂不錯, 給人留下印象. 略看影評, 有說若導演是David Lynch則會十分可觀. 坦然, 電影故事本身及題材不錯, 演員及選角都很好, 就是欠缺緊湊一點的情節及連貫性.
