Blonde: Ana de Armas does not understand the ban on the film for those under 17 – CinéSéries

Ana de Armas becomes Marilyn Monroe

Blonde hair is one of the most anticipated movies this year. Unfortunately for fans of cinemas, we will only be able to discover it at home thanks to netflix. The lucky ones will still be able to see the film on the big screen during the Deauville Festival. For others, it will be on the platform.

The feature film has been talking about him for months. In particular because we are sold a sulphurous and disturbing film with Ana de Armas in Marilyn Monroe. However, it will not be a biopic, but an adaptation of the novel by Joyce Carol Oates, which is inspired by the famous actress but nevertheless offers a fictional account about her. The will of the author being to show her in another light and how the world of celebrity could be harmful for her.

Blonde hair was announced several years ago. But the release had to be postponed to allow director Andrew Dominik to revise his copy, because, to everyone’s surprise, Netflix would have found the film too shocking, for the most part. because of some sex scenes. Finally, the author of the film would have won his case and would have managed to propose a version that suits him.

Films and series more explicit than Blonde hair

However, Blonde hair will not be a film for all audiences. In the United States, it was awarded by the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) an NC-17 classification. Which means a ban for those under 17. Andrew Dominik had already expressed himself on this subject, believing that he had not exceeded the limits and that this classification testified to an American paradox. It is now at the star of the film, Ana de Armas, to return to this subject in an interview given to The Official.

I did not understand this decision. I can cite a good number of series or films that are more explicit with much more sexual content than in Blonde.

She takes the opportunity to justify the director’s choices and his desire to don’t show a “happy sexuality“ as he had expressed it.

To tell this story, it was important to show all those moments in Marilyn’s life that made her end there. It had to be explained. Everyone (in the cast) knew we had to go to awkward places. I was not the only one.

The actress speaks of a general discomfort therefore but accepted by the entire film crew. We are all the more curious to discover Blonde. For this, meet on Netflix September 28.
