Marilyn Times Five is a 1973 experimental film by American filmmaker Bruce Conner.
Plot
It is an exploration of how a film's form can influence audience perception of the content of film.[https://mubi.com/films/marilyn-times-five MUBI] 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.{{Citation |last=Conner |first=Bruce |title=Marilyn Times Five |type=Short |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0130849/ |access-date=2025-06-17 |others=Arline Hunter, Marilyn Monroe}}
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" [http://sensesofcinema.com/2009/cteq/marilyn-times-five/ Senses of Cinema] by Marilyn herself is playing.
