“My idea about Marilyn was quite basic – Ana de Armas told the press around the world – for someone who was so successful, money, couples with desired men, she represented the dream and of course, what could go wrong – she explained – then It was about having a more complete story of the personal history of those women, of that icon, it makes me understand and respect her more.”
Director Andrew Dominik denied that the film was lustful and that Marilyn’s figure was unnecessarily exposed, and clarified that the Me Too movement for women’s rights, “was very useful we all realized that we were interested in the feelings of women. women and their rights.
De Armas confessed that being in the Fox studio to recreate the famous scene of the skirt of the white dress blowing in the wind in Billy Wilder’s “The Seven Year Itch” was “surreal.”
Undoubtedly, Ana de Armas is going through a high moment of popularity that her brilliant interpretation of Marilyn Monroe will raise even more, so the parallel between her status as a star of the present with that of the actress who died in 1962 is inevitable.
“The level of exposure that the actors have to live has not changed much, perhaps it is worse, with which it is impossible that this film has not made me reflect on my own life, on what to share publicly and what not,” he reflected.
Also today was the conference for “Marlowe”, the closing film of the festival, with the presence of its protagonist, Liam Neeson, along with director Neil Jordan and co-star, Diane Kruger.
Based on the novel “The Black-Eyed Blonde” by John Banville, which reprises the iconic private detective created by Raymond Chandler in “The Big Sleep” and “The Long Goodbye”, “Marlowe” is Jordan’s daring bid to recreate the atmosphere of a busy genre like film noir and breathe life into that characteristic of a world that, at least on the screen, seemed hopelessly lost.
And the challenge is doubly so, as Neeson must embody “Marlowe”, along the lines of the works of Humphrey Bogart, James Garner, Elliott Gould and Robert Mitchum, who also donned the hat of the legendary detective in a formidable way.
In that sense, the actor of Irish origin acknowledged that “I had never read Chandler but now I devoured him and all his books seemed extraordinary to me” and assured that “the myth of the character did not intimidate me, what intimidated me was the rest of the cast of good movie actors.
For her part, Diane Kruger, who in “Marlowe” has the role of the old-fashioned femme fatale, assured: “I love black films, they are films that are no longer made, but also, I knew I was going to shoot something classic but with unexpected twists”.
The “turns” to which the German actress mentions have to do with the assignment to the detective – the initial kick of the story – to find her lover, who mysteriously disappeared. Although the need to find it has nothing to do with love.
In this regard, he told the director amused that “I liked shooting a film of a beautiful girl in search of her lover, where everything happened in the middle but what was interesting there was that she was looking for him because she wanted to kill him.”
