Andrew Dominik's Blonde (2022) is basically a re-imaging of Scorsese's Raging Bull (1980)
Substituting the faithful recreation of Jake LaMotta's boxing fights with snippets from Marilyn Monroe's film career, using stunning cinematography to accomplish the set pieces and ably supported by an ethereal music score composed by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis.
Both films are also similar in following the downwards spiral of the domestic life of the main protagonists, except there's no final redemption for Norma Jean.
Ana de Armas portrayal of Marilyn Monroe is utterly captivating throughout, yep her Cuban accent slips through from time to time, but there were many moments in the film when I genuinely thought I was watching real archive footage of the iconic star.
A dark and depressing film, interspersed with rare moments of joy, yet fascinating to see it all unfold, like Raging Bull (1980) Blonde (2022) is not a comfortable watch.
