PRICE OF FAME

BLONDE Netflix

■ ANOTHER examination of the troubled life and times of Marilyn Monroe might not sound like much cause for excitement but Andrew Dominik’s film promises something rather different to the usual, straightforward biography. An impressionistic collage of key moments in the life of the film star, Ana de Armas (No Time To Die, Knives Out) is brilliant as Norma Jean/Marilyn as we see how fame comes with a high price for the ultimate Hollywood blonde. A haunting and unsettling look at stardom with a soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.
