Director Andrew Dominik says he read Joyce Carol Oates' novel 'Blonde' 20 years ago. 'I saw an opportunity of how to turn it into a film. Of how to take what she set up in the book, which is the childhood trauma.
Dominik says in his film he tried to preserve the novel's perspective. He uses unexpected camera angles, switching back and forth from color to black and white, shifting the picture aspect ratio.
"In early stages of development where she's relatively stabilized, the movie will proceed in a fairly straight-ahead manner," he says."It's only once the rug is pulled out emotionally that it will start to get sort of phantasmagoric. And there's a sense of the past, or the unconscious terror rising up. And being indistinguishable from the present."The director says the novel provided a richer source than any nonfiction could.
Dominik adds our cultural obsession with Monroe stems from a rescue fantasy; we know she's doomed, but we can't save her. Oates felt it. While she has written 23 novels sincewas published in 2000, she says her Monroe story was the most wrenching novel she ever wrote.was very very difficult emotionally for me. And even though I knew that Marilyn would die at the end of my novel, I didn't realize how when I got to that point I would be so identified with her.
