Our Marilyn like 2001 (yes 2001) is a film to be experienced. To call it a simple documentary would be one of the biggest understatements in movie history. Our Marilyn draws upon not more than 5 minutes worth of actual documentary footage that it essentially repeats over and over but manages to create a 20-30 minute work of art that never lets up.
Brenda Longfellow's manipulation of images truly shows that even the simplest of images combined with the right sound and feel can not only be watchable when repeated over and over but absolutely absorbing, giving the viewer insight and the closest possible feeling of what swimmer Marilyn Bell might have experienced as she swam for hours upon hours.
Our Marilyn manages not only to shed light upon an overlooked feat, but provides an emotional journey while making the viewer think of the implications of fame and how the smaller, lesser known people in life are sometimes the most interesting.... all in under 30 minutes! Truly a work of art!
