The work of artist and photographer James Bidgood, Pink Narcissus is a breathtaking and outrageous erotic poem that focuses on the daydreams of a handsome male prostitute 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. With its highly charged hallucinogenic quality, its atmosphere of lush decadence, and its explicit erotic power, the film is a landmark of gay cinema.

The screening of Pink Narcissus on Wednesday 4 June 18:30 NFT2 will include an introduction.
