Nicole Kidman premiered her movie “Fur” -- based loosely on the life of photographer Diane Arbus -- at the inaugural Rome Film Fest, which opened Friday.

“I wanted to support this festival and Italy,” Kidman told a news conference. “Film festivals are very good for small films like this one; the more we have, the better.”

The film by director Steven Shainberg tells the story of the transformation of a shy 1950s housewife into an artist, a move triggered by a passionate love affair with Lionel, her mysterious mentor played by Robert Downey Jr.
