Rare update this week. Not rare like the one after that short ten-year break, but rare for other reasons. I’m sure some students of fashion history can fill in why furs never really “caught on” in this area of the world, but it certainly seems to be the case. I’m sure the suggestion box will… Read More Furs on Film – The Grandmaster (2013)
Okay, let’s induct another cinematic classic today. So classic that I was not aware it existed at all before… well, now I can’t even remember where I saw it mentioned. Ultimately that does not matter, as it will remain one of the many great mysteries of the film Cougar Hunting, including how the hell they… Read More Furs on Film – Cougar Hunting (2011)
Mentioned I was aware of this back when I posted I, Tonya. This is the film where Margot wears the good stuff, not some crappy rabbit jacket. According to Rotten Tomatoes, that may be the only good thing about Terminal. This film is also notable because it was released in 2018 and is not a… Read More Furs on Film – Terminal (2018)
How do we know the 2018 film Piercing is set in the 1980s? Is it the poorly animated “Feature Presentation” graphic that opens it and the digitally inserted VHS artifacts during the production credits? Is it the taxis and phone booths? Is it the upscale call girl using a hotel landline? No, it’s the blue… Read More Furs on Film – Piercing (2018)
Films with genuine fur from a year that starts with a “2”? Yes, it is possible. This is why you jerks should stop turning your noses up at anything in black and white. I’m gonna run out of these a lot faster. I almost feel like there needs to be an asterisk next to this… Read More Furs on Film – Red (2010) & Red 2 (2013)
A movie from 2017? It must be a period piece. This one was rammed through the ole suggestion form quite a few times, so someone is going to enjoy this. When I say it features Margot Robbie in fur, I’m sure some… ears… will prick up. Sadly, you’ll need to temper those expectations. I, Tonya… Read More Furs on Film – I, Tonya (2017)
Turns out there are still some period pieces left to mine from the first couple decades of the 21st century. This one dips back to the other greatest fur decade of all time, the 1930s. That decade isn’t quite as popular because many of you don’t seem to understand that black and white is not… Read More Furs on Film – Serena (2014)
This is the last ‘80s period piece I have queued up at the moment, which means entries that start with “2” in the year of release will be far less common. Tip of the big fur hat to all the costume designers who demand authenticity in their historical films, but I just wish the 1980s… Read More Furs on Film – The Infiltrator (2016)
Do you know what we need more of in 2022? Tragedy. Wait, no, I mean Keira Knightley in a bunch of fur. So let’s break out the most recent adaption of the Tolstoy classic, Anna Karenina, and check out Keira and her Oscar-winning Imperial Russian costume design. Anna Karenina – The Film Holy crap, look… Read More Furs on Film – Anna Karenina (2012)
Hey, two ‘80s updates in a row. Sorta, and it’s the one thing that keeps me going cinematically, ‘80s period pieces with real fur. This one hits even harder because I vaguely recall seeing the evening news reporting on the events this movie dramatized when I was but a wee webmaster. Not only that, it… Read More Furs on Film – American Hustle (2013)
