Blonde

A fictionalized chronicle of the inner life of Marilyn Monroe.

Light is the first thing that is seen on screen when the movie Blonde begins. It is not natural sunlight, but a bright, cold artificial spotlight, so strong that it could blind anyone who was caught in it.

She is anything but blonde in real life, but Cuban actress Ana de Armas channels Marilyn Monroe, the girl who grew up in California foster homes in Andrew Dominik's Blonde. Producer Brad Pitt flew in just for the premiere which makes him the only true superstar who attended the festival this year.
