Marilyn Monroe turns 100 years old and gains exhibition in SP
This June 1st, the centenary of actress Marilyn Monroe, who became a pop culture icon in the last century, is celebrated. To celebrate the date, the Museum of Image and Sound of São Paulo promotes the "Marilyn Monroe 100 Years Exhibition", with a selection of the artist's films.
Curated by filmmaker André Sturm, twelve titles featuring the actress will be shown in the space. The proposal includes Marilyn Monroe's first speaking role in "Dangerous Age", her first protagonist in "Só a Mulher Pecou" and "Os Desafitados", her last film work.
Some of the actress's most popular productions, such as "The Hotter Is Better" and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", were left aside to show other less popular facets of Marilyn, who worked in thrillers, musicals, westerns and more. "The idea here was to try to reveal this less pop, less obvious, less object of desire Marilyn, hence her more 'B side' films, so to speak. We will be able to see a total pre-magnetism Marilyn", explains the curator.
The exhibition of the "Marilyn Monroe 100 Years Exhibition" takes place from June 2nd to 7th, at different times, in the MIS Auditorium and the LabMis Auditorium. Tickets cost from R$3 (half) to R$6 (full) and can be purchased at Megapass or at the MIS box office.
