A wealthy middle-class girl, living in a fur-strewn room, with a warm family, and a meticulous photographer husband, who is good at shooting "middle-class commercials with fake smiles that celebrate norms and order."
The story begins with a lost key, which opens up a journey of love and art similar to "Alice's Roaming". The fur people exist in another world, a world of "deformed" people full of mystery, color and chaos. They are rejected by this world, but they can enjoy themselves. They form a huge contrast with the taste and order of the middle class. , The woman who wanted to be curious inevitably fell. Although we don't know whether she fell in love with the world because she fell in love with fur, or the other way around.
The film's failure is that the director has no intention to explore Diane's photography too much. Therefore, apart from the clear, mysterious and deep eyes of the fur man, there is no reason for Diane to become a great photographer in the future. feelings, her thoughts. Perhaps, for the director, photography is just a prop to enter the fantasy world, just like books borrowed by boys and girls, and handkerchiefs that come and go.
From a cinematographic point of view, this is really not a good movie, and the curious style feels superficial and unintelligible. And from a movie standpoint, it's a good movie.
