With its highly charged hallucinogenic quality and its atmosphere of lush decadence, Pink Narcissus is a landmark of gay and experimental cinema. 4K restored.

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. 

Pink Narcissus has been restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive from original 35mm materials.

‘James Bidgood was a great artist, and the fact that the whole film was filmed inside a loft is truly amazing’ John Waters
