A Century of Miss Monroe

From the sparkling lightness of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes to the melancholic depth of The Misfits, through the subversive modernity of Some Like It Hot and the striking early signs of her dramatic talent in Don’t Bother to Knock, this cycle paints the portrait of a complex artist. It highlights the paradox of a richly layered filmography, too often overshadowed by myth, and partly rooted in the codes of classical Hollywood. Collaborating with major filmmakers such as Howard Hawks, Billy Wilder, and John Huston, Monroe established a unique screen presence, blending comic grace, dramatic intensity, and raw vulnerability.

Behind the icon of laughter and shimmering dresses emerges an actress of infinite nuance, whose every role reveals a crack, a disturbance, an intimate truth. This retrospective invites audiences to rediscover, between grace and melancholy, the enduring mystery of Marilyn Monroe.
