Cinémathèque Française celebrates 100-year anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s birth with a special exhibition “Marilyn Monroe: 100 Years!” in Paris

Tracing a progression from most iconic photos to screen performances, tensions between persona and interpretation are explored. The show moves through phases of ascent, reinvention, and mythologisation, revealing how Monroe’s image was constructed, contested, and continually reshaped across cinema and visual culture.

On view until July 26th
