Marilyn on Marilyn

About This Movie

So, "Marilyn on Marilyn" is this fascinating doc from 2001, featuring Marilyn Monroe’s own words. It's built around her interviews with Life magazine and Marie Claire, recorded not long before her passing. The atmosphere feels almost intimate, like you're eavesdropping on a private conversation. The pacing is reflective, letting her thoughts breathe. What’s striking is the rare footage interspersed throughout—some of it feels so personal, almost raw. You get a sense of her vulnerability and complexity, diving into themes of fame, identity, and the struggles behind the glamour. It’s an interesting piece, not just a collection of archival materials but really a glimpse into her psyche, distinct from other Monroe documentaries. Worth a look for a collector's perspective.
