The Relentless Victimization of Marilyn Monroe in "Blonde"
'Blonde' commits a relentless assault on the autonomy of Marilyn Monroe, reducing the icon to nothing more than a victim of the director's whims.
Le tour d'un monde
By his own admission, Damien Faure possesses an impressive quantity of images and films, sometimes exploited in other ways, sometimes simply left unused, and forgotten on film that was gathering dust. These archives have patiently waited to be brought back to life in this documentary, in which this travel-loving director presents an anthology of sequences shot in the four corners of the planet, from Japan to the Arctic, via India. Through the discovery of these stories collected here and there and then meticulously assembled, he wishes to offer a different vision of the contemporary world.

Forty years after The Goonies (1985) America’s consciousness hasn’t strayed from the same tropes: treasure hunts, a vulnerable white male lead, and the whitewashing of a racially segregated setting.
