Pink Narcissus
With its highly charged hallucinogenic quality, its atmosphere of lush decadence, Pink Narcissus is a landmark of gay cinema.
Director: James Bidgood
Overview
The work of artist and photographer James Bidgood, Pink Narcissus is a breathtaking and outrageous erotic poem
focusing on the daydreams of a beautiful boy prostitute who, from the seclusion of his ultra-kitsch apartment, conceives a series of interlinked narcissistic fantasies populated by matadors, dancing boys, slaves and leather-clad bikers. A landmark of gay cinema presented complete and uncut.
