about

film,

recently
told
Netflix
Queue,
"Andrew's
ambitions
were
very
clear
from
the
start
-
to
present
a
version
of
Marilyn
Monroe's
life
through
her
lens.
He
wanted
the
world
to
experience
what
it
actually
felt
like
to
not
only
be
Marilyn,
but
also
Norma
Jeane.
I
found
that
to
be
the
most
daring,
unapologetic,
and
feminist
take
on
her
story
that
I
had
ever
seen."
The
official
synopsis
for
the
film
reads,
"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
romantic
entanglements,
Blonde
blurs
the
lines
of
fact
and
fiction
to
explore
the
widening
split
between
her
public
and
private
selves."
Blonde
directed
by
Andrew
Dominik,
will
release
on
Netflix
on
September
23,
2022.
