If there is an uncomfortable film among the upcoming Netflix releases, it is “Blonde” (“Blonde”), the biography of Marilyn Monroe directed by Andrew Dominik and starring Ana de Armas. The film is based on the successful homonymous novel by Joyce Carol Oates, and what is unique (and therefore uncomfortable for the streaming network) is its rating of NC17, something equivalent to the old Argentine rating of “Forbidden to watch”. under 18 years of age”. It should also be added that the NC-17 is one step below the “X” that corresponds to pornographic films. In the US, ratings are set by the MPAA, the Producers Association, and are for guidance only. The cast of the film includes, in special appearances, Bobby Cannavale, Adrien Brody, Julianne Nicholson, Xavier Samuel and Evan Williams.
The synopsis for “Blonde” says that the film “boldly reimagines the life of one of Hollywood’s most enduring icons, Marilyn Monroe. From her volatile childhood as Norma Jeane, through her rise to stardom and her romantic entanglements, ‘Blonde’ blurs the lines of fact and fiction to explore the growing divide between her public self and the private “. In its yesterday’s edition, Variety quoted De Armas’ statements to Netflix: “Andrew’s ambitions were very clear from the beginning: to present a version of Marilyn Monroe’s life through her lens. He wanted the world to experience what it really felt like to not only be Marilyn, but also Norma Jeane. It struck me as the most daring, unapologetic, feminist take on the story of her that I have ever seen.”
