I'm glad a clarifying (and cya) subtitle has been added to the new Diane Arbus film. Already out in Italy and due at some theaters in the US and UK on November 10, 2006, Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus stars Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey, Jr.
Arbus was a model of both chic and super-freaky, and the movie looks to reflect this. Her photographs are extraordinary in unmasking and remasking her subjects, usually people up close and personal. "The more you see, the less you know."
I'm loving all the retro movies lately, ones like Capote, Infamous, Fur, the upcoming Factory Girl (Sienna Miller, I've heard, turns in a fine performance as a jangled Edie Sedgwick), Walk the Line, Casino Royale, Running With Scissors, Mrs. Harris, Marie Antoinette, and so on.
I enjoy seeing bits of retro fashion making their way into the latest styles, especially when done with intelligence and flair. Because the more that's new, the more that's steeped in tradition.
Today's Rune: Partnership.
Bon voyage!

Hat's off to retro fashion. The thing that brings a smile to my face is when my daughter comes home from the store all excited to show me her new purchase of the latest fashion. I'm thinking in the back of my mind, "That was in style when I was a teenager!"
