Pink Narcissus - The Beauty Of Queer Escapist Dreaming:
This week's video essay examines James Bidgood's cult queer experimental classic, a film dripping in Greek mythology, creative longing, and LGBTQ+ sexuality, Pink Narcissus is a beautiful personal expression of escapism from one's own true circumstances. Relatable and magical, explicit and daring, Pink Narcissus captures the vibrancy of Powell & Pressburger, Kenneth Anger and Stan Brakhage. It's a truly stunning piece of cinema which has earned its place in queer cinematic history.

anything gregg araki really
@@moira3652 Oooh yes, I do plan on covering Gregg Araki at some point in the future! I recently saw Mysterious Skin and absolutely bawled my eyes out
@@YouHaveBeenWatchingFilms
awesome! look forward to it, i highly recommend seeing the living eng if you haven't it's my favorite along with nowhere
@@moira3652 I believe it's on Mubi in the UK so I'll certainly be watching it! Thank you for the suggestions! :)
I want to know more about Bobby Kendall, his later life, and pictures of him outside of Pink Narcissus. He’s a big mystery!
5:05 what a relatable quote lol imagining giving award speeches for a million creative ideas I'll never have the energy or time to make
Omg right?! I adore Bidgood for that aspiration to reach heights he sadly never quite reached, the man was iconic 🙏💖
i fell in love with this film a month-ish ago, so this came perfectly omg
basically the whole film is visually explicit, making talking about it on youtube really difficult, yet you manage it wonderfully? i also quite like _how_ you contextualise the story and visual elements
wish you so much luck on youtube!
Thank you so much, I actually found this video very difficult to edit since much of the film is filled with nudity, and I didn't want to risk my video being demonetised 😭 I'm really glad you enjoyed this video, thank you for your kind words!
@@YouHaveBeenWatchingFilms i can imagine😭
Me 50 years...!!!
So glad this video came out near the time of my obsession over the film! What a beautifully striking and vulnerable film!!
It's always wonderful to see others enthusiastic about films I adore too! It really is striking and vulnerable, it's a very beautiful film indeed 😊
really well put and very insightful! amazing video
Thank you so much! 😁
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Scorpio rising?!
I'd love to at some point! One of my all-time favourites from Kenneth Anger, I want to discuss more of his work in the future 😁
This is a masterpiece
I'm just like him fr fr
Bravo for us all - was a good friend 💖✨👏
Too much LGBTQ stuff. Unsubbed. Good luck to you
It is Pride month, and I am a trans woman discussing classic LGBTQ cinema to celebrate. If that's too much for you, my channel was never for you in the first place and you should reassess what it is within yourself that makes you insecure seeing LGBTQ+ people celebrate LGBTQ+ cinema.
❤️💛💚💙💜
Well....don't let the door slap you on the arse on the way out....You won't be missed.
Paranoia :
where did you find too much LGBTQ stuff dude? Its at most normal.. don't hate man but question instead..
