Netflix has allowed Dominik to release the film as it was, unfiltered and without any cuts, maybe after realizing that “Blonde” wasn’t going to contend for Oscars and was a straight-up arthouse affair.
Dominik’s cut is said to be rated NC-17. It was originally set to world premiere at the Venice Film Festival before being pulled out by Netflix late in the game. I broke the Netflix/Dominik dispute in the summer which led to a small online campaign by fans to give Dominik, a major auteur in world cinema, the cut that he so richly deserved.
