Shooting Blonde – the new biopic about Marilyn Monroe – in the apartment and room the Hollywood icon died in was like a “séance”, its director has said.
Andrew Dominik’s film starring Ana de Armas is having its world premiere at Venice on Thursday night. The nearly three-hour epic is based on a biographical novel by Joyce Carol Oates and examines the public and private life of Monroe, from her troubled childhood as Norma Jeane Mortenson to her global stardom.
