Cinema Urbana - Some like it hot

On the occasion of what would have been her hundredth birthday, we celebrate Marilyn Monroe as one of the most layered figures in film history. In the fifties, she grew into the face of Hollywood, with roles in, among others, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955), in which she bent the blonde sex symbol to her will—consciously, intelligently and with a flawless sense of timing. Met Some Like It Hot (1959) she reaches an absolute highlight under the direction of Billy Wilder. Wilder, a master of biting satire and moral ambiguity, uses the seemingly light premise of two musicians who, on the run from the mafia, go into hiding in an all-female band, to make a film that was far ahead of its time. Gender becomes a game here, identity a performance; fluid, unstable and irresistibly funny. The legendary final line “Nobody’s perfect.” has since grown into one of the most quoted and subversive endings in film history: a punchline that not only closes the film, but also puts everything that preceded it on shaky ground.
