Marilyn Times Five is a 1973 experimental film by American filmmaker Bruce Conner.

Contents

Plot

It is an exploration of how a film's form can influence audience perception of the content of film. [3] An image of a female is looped several times. With each repetition, the content looses some of its emotional charge until the viewer experiences visual exhaustion. [4]

For this film, the footage comes from Apple Knockers and Coke, a famous porno loop from the late '40s featuring Monroe look-alike Arline Hunter while the song "I'm Through With Love" [5] by Marilyn herself is playing. [6]
