Marilyn

About This Movie

So, 'Marilyn' from 1972 is this elusive short by Lost Zulueta that kind of slips through the cracks of more mainstream discussions. The atmosphere is haunting and it feels like a dream, with a pacing that lingers on certain moments longer than you'd expect. The themes are complex, touching on identity and the ephemeral nature of fame, all wrapped in this surreal aesthetic. You can tell there’s a lot of thought in the practical effects, giving it a raw, tangible quality that heightens the emotional weight. Even though the director isn't widely known, there's something special about the performances that really draw you in, leaving an impression that's hard to shake off.

This film has seen limited distribution, primarily circulating in niche collector circles, making it fairly scarce. Various unofficial copies exist, but a good quality version is hard to come by and often sought after by enthusiasts of lesser-known shorts. Interest in 'Marilyn' has been revitalized in recent years as collectors delve deeper into the underrepresented works of the 70s, especially those exploring avant-garde themes.
