Pink Narcissus

Amidst the sumptuous pink satin, teenage beauty Bobby Kendall falls into a deep slumber of erotic reverie, entering the glorious realm of sexual fantasy--living in a dream world of fantastic colors, magnificent music, elaborate costumes and strikingly handsome men. He imagines himself as a Roman slave chosen by the emperor, as a triumphant matador vanquishing the bull, an innocent wood nymph gamboling in the woods, a harem boy in the tent of a sheik. His narcissism is marred by one great fear--growing old and losing his looks.

Prepare yourself to be dazzled by this decadent morsel, a work whose legendary status places it in the same league of cult movies as ‘A chant d’amour’ and ‘Pink Flamingos’.PINK NARCISSUS has been screened throughout the world over the past 30 years, with little being known about its director until journalist Bruce Benderson traced the history of James Bidgood. An artist in his own unreal world, Bidgood represented Kitsch Porn Pop Art through his work.
Filmend between 1963 and 1970 PINK NARCISSUS shows the phantasmagorical journey of Bobby, forcibly taken by foreign gladiators who drag him before an assembly of golden haired ephebes.

Drenched in colour amid a sumtuous set and eccentric costumes, this film is trance-like, with acid-trip S&M  scenes, glistening libidos and enchanting visions. The film is dressed up in pop rags by Andy Warhol and taken on a road of euphoric sexuality courtesy of the exquisite Bobby Kendall, the model/actor whom Bidgood made immortal in this role.
