Screened at the Deauville Festival and at the Venice Film Festival, “Blonde”, on Netflix on September 28, ignites a disturbing Ana de Armas as Marilyn.
Mimicry. In “Blonde”, directed by Andrew Dominik and inspired by the fictional biography of Joyce Carol Oates, Ana de Armas (above) plays a Marilyn Monroe confusingly natural, delicate and sensual.

Gclose-up of a black and white scene, filmed outdoors at night on a New York street for the Billy Wilder film Seven years of reflection. Under the amazed gaze of onlookers, we see a blonde woman, spectacular and laughing, in a crepe sundress, standing above a subway entrance, her head thrown back while a air current lifts her dress, revealing her bare legs and her white cotton panties. One of the most famous images, the most erotic of American cinema, which propelled the career of Marilyn Monroe, who in a flash became the absolute incarnation of male desire. What make the whole world fantasize, even a President of the United States.
So much for the story and the making of a myth. Not the New Zealand filmmaker’s cup of tea…
