Madame Bovarys Revenge
NR 15 minJan 1st, 1995
In her very first moving image work Cantor already displays the masterly use of appropriated footage for which she would become known inserting explicit scenes from the classic porn film Behind the Green Door 1972 into key scenes of lovemaking from Louis Malles 1959 succès de scandale The Lovers Taking as its inspiration the most likely apocryphal story that actress Jeanne Moreau and her costar were really making love on the set of The Lovers Cantor shows us what director Malle could not through the addition of hardcore footage from the iconic Marilyn Chambers porn film At times the edits between one film and the next are remarkably seamless creating an ingenious illusion at others Cantor selfconsciously foregrounds her redubbing and reediting of her VHS source material Electronic Arts Intermix
