In the June Sight & Sound, devoted to Marilyn Monroe and her 100 years this June 1st, I wrote about John Huston’s The Misfits, and Marilyn’s complex, moving performance:

“It’s the culmination of Roslyn’s frustrations, a purging, made more interesting by how Huston films her at a distance, much like how the men look (all three gaze at her with different expressions, different thoughts). Her truth, rage and even enraged empathy speaks to all of us. As Jonas Mekas’s 1961 Village Voice piece pondered: “One doesn’t know if she is saying those words to Gable and Wallach or to the whole loveless world.”
