LOVE, MARILYN Trailer | New Release 2013

Academy Award®-nominated director Liz Garbus draws on Marilyn Monroe's personal papers, diaries and letters — read and performed by Elizabeth Banks, Ellen Burstyn, Glenn Close, Viola Davis, Lindsay Lohan, Lili Taylor, Uma Thurman, Marisa Tomei and other acclaimed actors — to create this intimate and revealing portrait of an American icon.

Official Selection, Toronto International Film Festival 2012

Half a century after her death, Marilyn Monroe remains one of the quintessential icons of the twentieth century: a woman who seemed to exist solely in and for the public, yet whose real self remained forever elusive; a knowingly artificial creation whose aching vulnerability was all too evident. In Love, Marilyn, Academy Award®-nominated director Liz Garbus draws on never-before-seen personal papers, diaries and letters — and the talents of a remarkable cast — to explore the many facets of the real Marilyn. Interweaving newly released outtakes, home movies, photos, and interviews with dramatic re-enactments of Monroe's words by such actors as Elizabeth Banks, Ellen Burstyn, Glenn Close, Viola Davis, Jennifer Ehle, Lindsay Lohan, Lili Taylor, Uma Thurman, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood (while Adrien Brody, Hope Davis, Paul Giamatti, David Strathairn bring to life the writings of Marilyn's friends and admirers), Love, Marilyn both reinvigorates the non-fiction form and creates the most intimate picture yet of an American icon we all think we know.
