Prouveur has a natural affection for the male body, and his undoubted photographic talents aided
101_30
him in transforming that love to photography and video. Liquid London started making art house
101_31
films then softcore releases, but when laws in the United Kingdom changed in 1999, the studio
101_32
entered the hardcore realm. And with the release of Heat & Lust — Postcards to a Pornographer,
101_33
Liquid London found a new North American attention.
101_34
Prouveur's work is influenced by a wide variety of film from classic mainstream cinema on an
101_35
international scale. "Many films stand out, starting with Pink Narcissus, which he saw in 1975,
101_36
together with Jean Genet's Un Chant d'Amour and most of Jean Cocteau's 'films, without forgetting
101_37
the avant-garde in France from the '70s: Godard, Truffaut. Or the experimental films from the
101_38
States with Warhol, Morrissey, Curt McDowell and Russ Meyer."
101_39
The Italian "new wave" from the 1960s - which included directors Bernardo Bertolucci and Federico
101_40
Fellini - also had an influence, followed by the exciting new generation of filmmakers from Spain
101_41
(like Pedro Almodovar) and Britain (Danny Boyle).
101_42
"So many films stand out for their sheer magic and their power to transport you into a world you
101_43
could not have imagined. Guillermo del Toro is another filmmaker that stands out for Jean-Marc
101_44
because of his astonishing magical tales. As for his own films, he is very proud of Gamins D'
101_45
Auvergne, The Prisoner's Song, The Manor, Beast and both Legionnaires, without forgetting Polish
101_46
Pleasures or Spanish Obsessions and his very first 'hardcore' movie, though he had already made
101_47
over 30 erotic films prior to Lust & Betrayal. For the very same reason, he admires so-called
101_48
mainstream films, with their abilities to mesmerize you and offer you a peep into someone else's
101_49
universe.
101_50
Prouveur believes that adult films are no different from any other genre, and therefore ought to
101_51
have a comprehensive storyline to carry the viewer along within its erotic universe. "The films in
101_52
general are either based on real-life characters, such as in Gamins d'Auvergne - where Jean-Marc
101_53
has sought inspiration from Wilhelm von Gloeden, the 19th-century gay photographer - or on
101_54
fictitious stories such as Rascals or Lust & Betrayal."
101_55
Prouveur now divides his time between London and Auvergne, France. He continues to experiment in
101_56
photography and film whilst researching an essay on the history of pornography and its place in
101_57
art.
