Everything coming to Netflix in September 2022, Culture Whisper
From Andrew Dominik's Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde starring Ana de Armas to David Lean's desert epic Lawrence of Arabia with Peter O'Toole, Netflix in September plays between glamour and truth.
Blonde
UK Netflix release date: Wednesday 28 September
Blonde could be the most controversial film of the year. Based on the thick, 740-page tome by Joyce Carol Oates, the story is a fictionalised account of renowned actor and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe. It spans Monroe’s fraught childhood as Norma Jeane, getting married at 16, and then breaking into movies before her death aged 36. No Time to Die actor Ana de Armas portrays her.
Filmmaker Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford) has pre-empted the potential backlash for the film by claiming there’s ‘something in it to offend everyone’. But let's face it: that only makes the project more intriguing.
