Ana de Armas is baffled that her hotly anticipated film “Blonde” has a rare NC-17 rating, even though other films “are way more explicit” than Netflix’s forthcoming movie about Marilyn Monroe and her legacy.
“I didn’t understand why that happened. I can tell you a number of shows or movies that are way more explicit with a lot more sexual content than ‘Blonde,’” the star told L’Officiel in a new interview.
De Armas said she was still happy that director Andrew Dominik wasn’t willing to shy away from the more difficult parts of Monroe’s history in the film, based on a novel by Joyce Carol Oates and hitting Netflix this month.
