Sixty years after her death, Marilyn Monroe is back in the limelight as the subject of the buzzy Netflix biopic 'Blonde', which premieres at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday.
Based on the bestselling, semi-fictionalised book by Joyce Carol Oates, it is a dark retelling of the iconic actress's life that lifts the lid on the trauma and fierce intelligence behind the bubbly, sexualised image of the time.
It looks set to propel Cuban actress Ana de Armas into the A-list and is directed by Australian Andrew Dominik, who has made two other darkly poetic biopics "Chopper" and "The Assassination of Jessie James by the Coward Robert Ford".Bd-pratidin/Ishrar Tabassum
