‘blonde’ you “has something to offend everyone” according to its director, Andrew Dominick; obtained the NC-17 rating in the United States. This label, for which there is no equivalence in Spain (it would be between ours not recommended for children under 13 and that for people over the age of 18) supposes an “only for adults” which Ana de Armas is not satisfied with. The actress, who embodies the eternal myth that is Marilyn Monroe in this film, she assures she doesn’t understand what happened.
“I don’t understand why it happened”says the actress in statements to L’Officiel (via The Hollywood Reporter). “I could mention a good handful of series and movies which are much more explicit and with much more sexual content than “Blonde””a detail despite this Netflix movie, which we will see on September 28 on the platform and on September 16 in theaters; could not avoid a firm restriction. Armas adds that, of course, “to tell this story it’s important to show all those moments in Marilyn’s life that ended up that way. He needed to be explained. All [en el equipo] we knew we had to go to uncomfortable places. I was not the only one “.
He is not the only one nor was he the first to allude to the content of ‘Blonde’, a film that adapts the book of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates. Dominick himself has already mentioned this “It’s a demanding movie. If the audience doesn’t like it, it’s a fucking problem for the audience. I’m not running for public office. I’m making an adult movie about Marilyn Monroe, which would be what viewers want, right? I want to go see the NC-17 version of the Marilyn Monroe story. “. So it seems like everyone involved has always been clear on what the tone should be, something Netflix wouldn’t share, a home that “insisted” hiring publisher Jennifer Lame (“Tenet”) a “curb the excesses of the film”which includes a violation.
compassion and respect
“Blonde”, which also stars Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale and Julianne Nicholson, sIt is based on the dramatization born from the pen of Joyce Carol Oates, a work halfway between a fairy tale and a gothic novel which has received numerous compliments since its publication in 2000. The New Yorker stated so “Oates mysteriously channels Monroe’s inner voice” asking for the star to receive “recognition, compassion and respect”. The aforementioned publication also highlights how “Blonde” focuses on a Hollywood where women’s bodies are victims of marketing that seeks excitement and financial gain. We will see if this story keeps its essence in the hands of Dominik, who in addition to directing, signs the script.
