The work of artist and photographer <b>James Bidgood</b>, <i>Pink Narcissus</i> is our Queer Cinema Sundays screening for March. This breathtaking and outrageous erotic visual poem focuses on the daydreams of a beautiful male sex-worker 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.
With its highly charged hallucinogenic quality and its atmosphere of lush decadence, <i>Pink Narcissus</i> is a landmark of gay and experimental cinema. Pink Narcissus has been restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive from original 35mm materials.
This film will include a pre-recorded introduction from the UCLA Film and Television Archive’s Motion Picture Curator <b>Todd Wiener</b>.
