The director of ‘Blonde’, Netflix's first original NC-17-rated project, has given us some more gossip on the semi-biopic and a scheduled release date.
“It’s an NC-17 movie about Marilyn Monroe, it’s kind of what you want, right? I want to go and see the NC-17 version of the Marilyn Monroe story.” In fact, it’s probably what the sexually-empowered, risque Marilyn would have wanted., Andrew revealed deeper details about the movie, including a new descriptor: “Raging BullIt is, first and foremost, a film about the manifestation of trauma.
