Official Fur Trailer Options

[marilyn]

Cinema1 and Adrian, Thanks for the trailer. Love, love the trailer!! Pray that Fur will be shown in my town.

My problem is my parents will NOT let me go see it, in ANY way, not even when it is out on DVD.

As most of you know, I became a HUGE Nic fan through Keith 9 months ago. When Keith & Nicole were first spotted out together, 14 months ago, my parents had, I'll put it as nicely as possible...not the warmest feelings about Nicole because of "Eyes Wide Shut" & "Birth"

They knew that if Keith & Nic ever got serious or got married, that I would love Nicole just b/c she makes Keith happy. But they didn't know that I would fall in love with her because of her work as an actress, her personality, and charity work. As much as I try to help my parents "warm up" to Nic, they continue to have, "un-warm" opinions about her and her movies because of the sexuality and nudity in past films.

My dad was telling me the other day that Nicole "better not be in any R rated movies, once she marries Keith, because she shouldn't be doing sexual things, and nudity with other men."

So once they hear about a movie titled "Fur" ( I have hid the movie from them for 9 months) they will have an absolute FIT!!!

I, myself am not mad at Nicole, I do not support her sexual/nudity scenes at all, but that doesn't make me think less of Nicole as a person, like my parents are acting.

I know Keith & Nicole separate their work and their personal/private life. They probably don't think about this situation at all, or they may have discussed it, and worked something out, but either way, my parents will NOT see the "light!"

If you ask me, I think my parents are acting TOTALLY immature!

The DAY I turn 18 (EXACTLY 608 days!!!) I am going to rent "Eyes Wide Shut", "Birth" & "Fur" and it is going to be one of THE BEST days of my life!!!

Love,
Kensy

It is interesting to see the difference in rating between USA, and UK and the rest of the wold.

Some movies get rated R in US and 18 in UK after they are cut, yet the full version is shown in Italy, France or Sweden without an age limit!! The beautiful film "Malena" is a good example.

What makes a 17 old American less fit to see stuff a 9 old Dutch kid will see??

I feel sad for you hon, I can't imagine a Nicole fan having to wait a year for the DVD

I have to say it's nothing I was expecting. I don't know if it's good or bad. I can't wait to see it and take my conclusions based on the movie and not on the trailler.

The scene when Nicole was smoking I've seen before. Maybe Nadia in Birthday Girl? Virginia in The Hours?

I know, I find that very interesting too. A lot of movies that are rated R in the US are only rated 14A here. Let me tell you, I have seen some 14A movies that I would NEVER allow my 14 year old to see lol. I mean, I only live 30 min from the US border. Why is a 14 year old in my city allowed to see something you have to be 18 to see half an hour away? It's very strange. My friends and I were slightly mortified when I dragged them to see Closer... I did NOT expect some of that in a 14A movie. Now I'm worried when I get a movie that has retained a restricted rating because given the amount of nudity and sexual activity our rating system allows in 14A, I know it can't be a good sign lol. So far, the only Nic movie I have seen that has kept its R rating here is Eyes Wide Shut. I'm hoping they drop down Fur though so my best friend can come with me (it comes out 16 days before she turns 18, but I don't want to wait lol).

i love it! she looks so glamorous and mysterious and fabulous and amazing and gorgeous... cannot wait for this! i like the dark feel of the film. very "the others" but in a realistic context which always makes for great watching. oh nicole! why are you so great?

[Meisha]

Thanks for the trailer, cinema1 and adrian. I look forward to watching this film.

the only Nic movie I have seen that has kept its R rating here is Eyes Wide Shut.

Still, they did censor it in North America by adding those computer generated ghosts to hide some stuff in the party!!!

Very interseting to see how censorship is influenced by time/location.
Example of location; Here in middle east where we are used to seeing real life death and war, they censor nudity and leave everything else, so a 7 years old can see "Saw" and "Texas Chainsaw massacre" in full but not "Birth" because Nicole's breast was visible for 2 seconds !!

Timewise; In the 70s Brooke Shields' "Pretty Baby" was just a regular movie with no fuss, then they edited, cut and used letter box to amend it and now in the USA you might go to prison for owning the original release

God bless mainland Europe where freedom started 300 years ago and sill going strong

Thanks Adrian for allowing the trailer to be viewed by all . I think AOL only allows users in the States to view it.

I was wondering why the media are calling this a controversal film? Is it because of who Arbus photographed....but why would that be controversal? The world knows what she photographed so why would it be controversal? I did however read something yesterday where the head of the Telluride festival said Fur will have people talking from Telluride to Rome because it starts in a nudist colony and ends in a nudist colony ....(I seem to have lost the link :() Also there was a problem obtaining the R rating because the nudity was too graphic....this is something I heard several months ago.

[ladysatine]

Thanks Adrian! you did an amazing work for all of us.
The trailler is so intense, as i image the film.No doubts Nic as another "deep" character to interpreter and i hope she get another oscar nomination, she deserves.

Wiggle, it seems the word, "controversy" is now used to describe anything that is different or problematic. I never laughed so hard when an ITV correspondent asked Roger Moore how he felt about the controversy sorrounding the search for Bond .

Here is the blurb you mentioned:
“You may be right,� Pence allowed cautiously, when I suggested that at first glance there are movies that appear more accessible than in a typical year. But, he quickly suggested, Fur, starring Nicole Kidman as the photographer Diane Arbus, is “not a typical biopic.� The movie begins and ends, he reveals, in a nudist colony, and people who see it at the Chuck Jones cinema in Mountain Village “will be talking about it all the way down on the gondola,� he predicted.

Thanks thanks for the trailer Adrian. I got to see it and was worth waiting 24 hours for. Shame it is currently only on a site most of us could not see! But that wil not last long I am sure.

An excellent trailer. One tiny bit bothered me ...the gratuitous 1 second shot of Nicole smoking. I puzzle over why that was in the trailer, and well, being me and so anti-smoking I was disappointed and it seemed out of place in the trailer. Ah well.

Still... the rest very much made up for it. Superb.

miss_diane, you must have missed those excellent movie stills skanky had posted a while back. They were all in colour. Whether there are definitely B&W sequences I do not know. There is a good chance, given Diane Arbus' photos.

T'is exciting now.

Thanks so much for the trailer!!! i really can't wait to watch this movie!! it must be really good!!!! With our Nicole in her best as always!!!

they did??? I don't remember seeing any ghosts.... I saw some pretty graphic stuff at that party... enough for me to think it should have been X rated lol. that's weird... I don't remember seeing anything like that.

You are not supoosed to see them, they are made to look like normal people wearing black and watching. I'll PM you a link with a comparison between R1 (North America) and R2 (Europe)

Another bit that is not widely known is that Kubrick originally used some eastern music in this party scene, but it was discovered later to be a sacred music for some Asian religion, so they replaced it with the current music fearing a backlash by the Asian communities. There are rumers that there is only one release worldwide that has the original music, which is the R3 DVD from Korea. But no one was able to confirm this

hmmm somehow I seem to have seen the one without the people in cloaks lol. I don't know how I managed that, but I had definitely already seen the stuff in the link you sent me lol. Thanks though, it was interesting to see how they did that. I probably never would have noticed when I buy mine.

[adrian]

Just edited my post above and added some more censorship information

[chattyjaz522]

My parents haven't really said much about Nicole's sexuality/nude scenes but they insist that even when it comes out on DVD I have to see it with them and if they think any scene is inappropriate they skip it which sometimes gets me confused about the next scene b/c of what I missed, but they're my parents so I have to listen. I appreciate them trying to protect me against such stuff so I abide.

Isn't Birth rated PG-13??
