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.
