Why watch this film?
While Marilyn tried to break away from the "dumb blonde" archetype on screen (achieving a good performance in a more interesting role in 'Never Been Kissed'), these types of characters would haunt her in her later films. Her second-to-last, and second with Billy Wilder, was 'Some Like It Hot'. The story is about two jazz musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) who, to escape the mafia, decide to pass themselves off as women and join a female band on their way to a show in Miami, though they end up falling in love with the vocalist (Monroe). It is one of the most interesting films of the career of all involved for cleverly and classily escaping many of the restrictions of the "Hays Code," which regulated and censored the themes represented on screen at the time. The production manages to touch on issues such as homosexuality and cross-dressing, as well as showing a man and a woman in the same bed (something forbidden at the time), which earned it a place among the best films of all time, despite Monroe's dislike for her role.

Sunset Boulevard
Just saying that 'Sunset Boulevard' is considered by many to be the best movie about Hollywood ever made. The original title, 'Sunset Boulevard', is a reference to the avenue parallel to Hollywood Boulevard - where, in the Golden Age of cinema, there were great studios and stars lived in their huge mansions. In Billy Wilder's (director of 'Some Like it Hot') masterpiece, we have a very unusual meta-fictional story for its time, which earned him the Oscar for best screenplay (music and art direction were also awarded). It's an essential classic for those who are fans of Hollywood cinema or the seventh art in general.
![The Apartment](https://media.filmelier.com/images/filmes/thumb/the-apartment13329.jpeg)
The Apartment
Directed by Billy Wilder (of the brilliant 'A Double Life'), 'The Apartment' is the same kind of cynical, adult comedy that began to tackle more daring themes as restrictions of the Motion Picture Production Code (or "Hays Code") started to become looser in the Hollywood circuit. Winner of five Academy Awards (including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay) and nominated for another five, it is a movie that dared at the time to address adultery with humor, but also a good dose of melancholy, taking advantage of this to criticize the double standards of the era.

The Seven Year Itch
Based on the play by George Axelrod (who also co-wrote the film's screenplay), this movie could very well be Billy Wilder's most iconic classic in his immense filmography, and that is already saying a lot for someone who directed Some Like it Hot, The Apartment, and Sunset Boulevard. The Seven Year Itch follows a man who, away from his wife and child for an extended period of time, begins to flirt with the prospect of infidelity, and is terribly tempted by a beautiful actress and model staying in his building (Marilyn Monroe). Filmed and released at a time when depicting such themes openly in cinema was prohibited due to the "Hays Code," The Seven Year Itch is one of the great examples of how Wilder and other directors managed to bring those themes to the big screen through suggestive images and dialogues, never explicit, playing with subtle double entendres. The result is an incomparable romantic comedy full of wit that also contains one of the most iconic images of the 20th century: that of Marilyn Manson in her white dress, with her skirt being lifted up by the subway's air vent, which catapulted her to legend status.

![Outsider Girls](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/cRSp4H/thumb/outsider-girls_gfUGunI.jpeg)
Outsider Girls
Outsider Girls (original Spanish title: Las demás) is the feature film debut of Chilean filmmaker Alexandra Hyland as both director and screenwriter, and its art direction, music, editing, and staging, as well as its context and themes, embody a spirit that can only be described as "punk." The plot follows two best friends from university, whose lives are turned upside down when one of them becomes pregnant. Together, they embark on a quest to obtain an abortion in a country where it is still illegal. This is a great comedy that, in a carefree tone, without prejudice but also without concessions, highlights the hypocrisies of social, cultural, and political life in Chile, echoing experiences in other regions of Latin America.
![Problemista](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/mc4yPG/thumb/problemista_fqYJkEg.jpeg)
Problemista
Directed, written, and starred by Salvadoran comedian Julio Torres (Los Espookys), Problemista is a comedy that presents an absurd premise and doesn't worry about its credibility, and instead embraces its ridiculousness and runs with it. Set in an unspecified time in New York, Álex (Torres) aspires to be a toy inventor at Hasbro, with ideas as absurd as Barbies with crossed fingers or Cabbage Patch dolls with cellphones. To make ends meet, he works at a cryogenization clinic that freezes patients to wake up in the future (although there's no certainty that such technology will exist). When he is fired, he takes a job as an assistant to the neurotic Elizabeth (Tilda Swinton at her finest), who harbors the unreal idea of curating an exhibition of her artist husband's paintings, one of the frozen patients. With a production design that indulges in camp (closer to Roger Waters than to Pedro Almodóvar), using cheap costumes and ridiculous digital special effects, Torres builds a surreal and amusing atmosphere that satirizes the twisted difficulties of living in the United States (especially for Latin immigrants), the banal and stupid egocentrism of the cultural elites, and the absurdity of corporatism. Its eccentricity may repel some, but if you approach it on these terms, you'll leave the cinema having seen something truly unique.
