What links Marilyn Monroe to Nick Cave and Vincent Gallo?
Marilyn Monroe revival. Between Kim Kardashian fitting into (and being wrongly accused of damaging) the infamous 1962 JFK “happy birthday” dress for the Met Gala in May, and the biopic, Blonde, based on Joyce Carol Oates’s novel and coming to Neftlix in September, we appear to be in the midst of another Monroe moment. The new film, with Ana De Armas leading the line, seems like a departure for its director, Andrew Dominik, though perhaps like his excellent The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, it will explore underlying myths of American culture, in whatever way they take shape.
