Blonde, a vision of Marilyn Monroe

The film directed by Andrew Dominik about the life of Marilyn Monroe caused me all kinds of reflections and mixed emotions.

Based on the novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates, it manages to take us inside the person behind the mythical character, beyond the glamour of the flashbulbs.

Ana de Armas completely mimics the essence of Norma Jeane and her dull glow with a tremendous performance.

Dominik films with a raw, nightmarish eroticism that makes you uncomfortable, but gives you a much better understanding of the abuse the actress endured.

Undoubtedly, it is a film that divides the waters and makes you uncomfortable, but also moves you as it unravels the greyness of someone exploited by the system from her innocence.

It is essential to understand the demons that led her to a tragic end.

Although it is not a kind portrait, it is an honest one of her legacy.
