This landmark experimental queer art film, presenting the erotically charged dreamscape of a young hustler, is a celebration of the male body and a landmark of gay cinema.
The work of artist and photographer James Bidgood, Pink Narcissus is a breathtaking and outrageous erotic visual poem focusing 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.
The film has been restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive from original 35mm materials. Featured in John Waters Presents Movies That Will Corrupt You: Pink Narcissus (2006)
