Pink Narcissus

A young male prostitute retreats into a world of his own creation. In a series of opulent, hallucinatory fantasies, he transforms himself into a matador, a Roman slave, and a mythic creature, all while his reality remains a single, decaying hotel room. This 1971 avant-garde fantasy is a landmark of queer cinema, a visually stunning and deeply personal exploration of desire, identity, and escape, filmed almost entirely by its reclusive director over seven years.
