MY WEEK WITH MARILYN Galas

In the summer of 1956, 23-year-old Colin Clark worked as a lowly assistant an the set of THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL, the film that paired Sir Laurence Olivier with Marilyn Monroe . Nearly 40 years later, his diary of that summer was published, but one crucial week was missing. MY WEEK WITH MARILYN is the story of that week, of a moment in time. Doing her own singing and dancing , Michelle Williams gives a luminous, layered performance as Monroe that transcends mere impersonation, embodying both Marilyn’s fragile neuroses and her seductive glamour Eddie Redmayne ploys Colin, the ordinary mortal pulled into the star’s orbit. Kenneth Branogh lends expert support as the vain, impatient Olivier, and Judi Dench, Dougroy Scott and Emma Wa tson round out the biographical drama ‘s stellar cost. Capturing the collision of old England and new Hollywood, MY WEEK WITH MARILYN delicately uncovers the troubled, yearning human heart beating within the tragic screen legend.
