Blonde

Andrew Dominik | 2022 | 176 MINS
USA
Boldly reimagines the life of one of Hollywood's most enduring icons, Marilyn Monroe. From her volatile childhood as Norma Jean, through her rise to stardom and romantic entanglements.

In Detail

‘Blonde’ is an exploration of the idea of Marilyn Monroe (Ana de Armas is luminous in the lead). It’s as much a biopic of the film star as ‘Elvis’ is a biopic of Elvis Presley. It touches on a series of actual, factual events as a road map, from her movies to her marriages.

But ultimately, it’s a fantasia of fame, which increasingly becomes a hellscape. Director Andrew Dominik writes, "How does an unwanted child deal with becoming the most wanted woman in the world? Does it require her to split herself in half? Turn a dazzling image toward the world, as the unwanted self, suffocates within."

Ambitious film-making.
