From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marilyn Times Five is a film by Bruce Conner, that is an exploration of how a film’s form can influence the way an audience perceives the film's content. Conner took some footage that is a little over a minute, from a film that purportedly contains Marilyn Monroe dressed only in panties. Conner's intent, he has said, "was to take some parts of the found footage and rearrange them to see if the quintessential "Marilyn" could emerge". The film is "experimental" in both the scientific and artistic sense, the film being very avant-garde. The film is composed of loops of footage containing a supposedly naked Marilyn Monroe, black leader, and a continuous loop of the song "I'm Through with Love" from "Some Like It Hot" a film starring Marilyn Monroe.
