Coming to Netflix on September 28, “Blonde” with Anna De Arma offers a retelling of Marilyn Monroe’s life. Scared of the violence and harshness of the platform, the film is already reacting to the first audience.
Long rejected and feared by the Netflix platform, Andrew Dominik’s Blonde is coming to screens. Adapted from Joyce Carol Oates’ novel of the same name, the film romanticizes the life of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe. Like the work, already sulphurous, this biopic is already making a lot of noise for its darkness and brutality – the rape scene is already criticized.
For several months, the director entered into a confrontation with the streaming giant to keep the original editing. Andrew Dominik achieved this, but instead the blonde received an NC-17 ban – the equivalent of an under-18 ban in France. A puzzling choice for its lead actress, Ana de Armas.
Presented at the Venice Film Festival and the Deauville Festival – where the performer received the New Hollywood Award – the film leaves no one indifferent. While some praise the Cuban star’s staging and performance, others point to a certain complacency in the violence.

for that IndieWireThe blonde is content to just portray Marilyn Monroe as a victim. as guard Anyone who believes that Andrew Dominick’s project is directed many times “problematic exploitation“.
