Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006)

In the year 1958, the bustling city of New York cradles Diane Arbus, a woman of high society, trapped within the confines of a conventional marriage and the role of an unfulfilled assistant to her photographer husband. Living under the shadow of her affluent family who sponsor her husband’s career, Diane's world is monochromatically routine, until the arrival of Lionel Sweeney. Sweeney, a man shrouded in mystery and living with hypertrichosis, a condition marked by excessive body hair often likened to werewolf syndrome, moves into the apartment above. His arrival weaves a new thread into the fabric of Diane's existence, drawing her into a realm of the unusual, the overlooked, and the marginalized. Feeling an irresistible attraction for Lionel, Diane embarks on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. As she treads the path less trodden, she turns her back on her wealthy, established family. Lionel becomes her enigmatic mentor, introducing her to a world that exists beyond the veil of societal norms, a world that would fuel her passion and help her become one of the most revered photographers of the twentieth century. In this intriguing tale of love and discovery, Diane Arbus finds herself in the heart of the extraordinary, falling in love with Lionel and his world, ultimately embracing the unconventional and leaving an indelible mark on the world of photography.
