Join us in our microcinema for the new 4K Restoration of James Bidgood’s outrageously erotic and jaw-droppingly beautiful visual poem Pink Narcissus. A seminal work of underground and queer cinema, this breathtaking masterpiece of homoeroticism focuses on the daydreams of a beautiful young 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. Whether you’re there for the style, the subversion, the utter gorgeousness, or just the sexy men, you won’t want to miss this underground essential in stunning 4K!
Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive from a 35mm internegative, 35mm print and 35mm track negative. Funding provided by Snapdragon Capital Partners. Laboratory services by Roundabout Entertainment, Inc., Audio Mechanics. Special thanks to Frameline, Mark Grabowski, Marcus Hu, Michael Lumpkin, Strand Releasing and James Woolley.
