Pink Narcissus
Pink Narcissus is one of the strangest movies I’ve ever seen. Surreal from start to finish, and filled with extremely bright colors and vivid homoerotic fantasies. I found it fascinating, and I think the most amazing thing is the director was so free. It was released in 1971. Being gay was still a crime and still thought of as a mental illness. But the film doesn’t care about that at all. It is an unapologetic exploration of a young gay man’s beauty, sensuality, sexuality and crazy, lusty imagination.

The most amazing thing about the film is that it was entirely filmed in one NYC loft over a period of seven years.
