From November's @sightsoundmag.bsky.social , some well-deserved praise for @selfstyledsiren.bsky.social and @kimmorgan.bsky.social #MarilynMonroe #MM100 #BFI
Readers' Letters: 'BLONDE JUSTICE' - includes photo captioned 'SUGAR RUSH: Marilyn Monroe as Sugar Cane in Some Like It Hot'

"Having recently curated a Marilyn Monroe retrospective at the Metropo-lis Kino in Hamburg, I was delighted to discover the June issue of Sight and Sound with her on the cover.

I would like to pay particular compliments to Farran Smith Nehme, Hannah McGill and Kim Morgan.

Their contributions gave Monroe the tribute she so urgently deserved: they took her seriously as an actress, rather than reduced her to the accepted narrative - Marilyn Monroe as victim. She was so much more than that. Above all, she was an exceptional artist.

Thank you for an issue that treated Monroe with the seriousness, curiosity and respect that her work merits."

- Jens Wawrczeck, Hamburg

As a romantic (in life) and a Romantic (in college studies) I loved Del Toro's Frankenstein—the sweep, the beauty and the headlong emotion of it. Its visual and thematic echoes range from Burke & Hare to Ingres to Hammer, but it's no pastiche—it's a vividly individual film.
