🎬 Marilyn Monroe’s final film is a poignant and poetic drama, infused with the promise of what could have been had she had more time to explore her skills as a dramatic performer.

👋 Hi guys! The 100th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s birth, and a two-month retrospective at BFI Southbank, is the occasion for the re-release of her most serious and poignant film.

The Misfits was directed by John Houston and written by her then husband Arthur Miller. It was intended as a gift, offering Monroe a more complex, dramatic role. Their marriage imploded during the heated production, but Monroe delivers one of her finest performances.

Appearing to harness the pain of her own life, she imbues Roslyn with a raw vulnerability, showing a passionate, vulnerable, childlike free spirit who finds a complex kind of excitement and freedom.Gable and Clift are superb, but the film would not have soared without Monroe.

The Meetup: We’ll be meeting for pre-drinks at 2:00 PM at the BFI Bar. At 3pm we'll go to NFT Screen 2.

After the film, we’ll reconvene for our usual commentary and Letterboxd review, and will likely continue the night with more drinks around town. You’ll find the full schedule breakdown, tickets, and addresses below.

I'll see you all there
