Pink Narcissus

Directed by James Bidgood
United States
1971
65 mins

One of the landmarks of both avant-garde and queer cinema, Pink Narcissus returns to the big screen in a ravishing new 4k restoration!

Filmed almost entirely at a New York City loft over the course of seven years, this eye-popping fever dream depicts the lurid desires of a narcissistic young hustler, played by Bobby Kendall, as he enters an erotic fantasy world of biker boys, matadors, and belly dancers. Originally released in the early 1970s without an anonymous director credit, it took many years and a dedicated cult following to unmask renowned physique photographer James Bidgood. This new restoration brings Bidgood’s kaleidoscopic images to dazzling new levels, making it feel like the first time all over again.
