4.0 out of 5 stars
Slightly flawed work of Art,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pink Narcissus (DVD)
This film is definitely not for everyone, and it has its problems, but for the right audience, it is superb. Originally released in 1971, it is highly homoerotic and fairly explicit for its time. It is unrated, but would definitely get an X rating, even today (just barely), though nothing at all like 99% of porn being produced today. It has very much an art house feel. Indeed, it is all surrealistic dreamy imagery set to music; there is no narrative or dialog at all. All of the imagery in the film surrounds Bobby Kendal, a beautiful twinky young man, in varying costumes and states of undress. In fact, the film completely and lovingly worships his flawless body and beautiful face. A few other models drop in occasionally, but 90% of it is Kendal. Like a really well done striptease, it is more erotic for what it implies, rather than what it shows. Full of mysticism, dream sequences, and some dark imagery too. It will appeal mostly to gay men, but is so beautiful in many ways, and not too hard core, and will appeal to many open minded straight women as well. Most straight men would find this very challenging, and would have to be very open minded to enjoy it. Though lovingly filmed, it has its technical problems. It was filmed in the late 1960's and into 1971 (it was apparently filmed over several year's time) on 8mm film. Then it was upscaled and remastered to 35mm film for release. Though the imagery is timeless, the film quality is very much 1970. I've heard the restoration on the US VHS version is not very good. The DVD version is okay, but still a bit rough and grainy. It was a low budget art house film, and the effects and props are laughable by today's standards. Fake plants, butterflies, clouds, cityscapes, and set pieces, all look completely fake. If you can let yourself go and get into the dreamy imagery, you will enjoy it. If you insist on realism, this will greatly annoy you. In this respect, it is much more like seeing theater than a movie. It will certainly not appeal to a wide audience, and the film quality is mediocre. However, for the right person, it is a stunning historical work of art.

Pointless gay movie,
By A Customer
This movie is a collection of "erotic" clips with no argument, no narrative, no taste nor point. Be warned about it. Although, chances are personally interested viewers (gay people) might find it enjoyable.

What's the point???,
By Color_liberty_Love "Love" (Bangkok.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pink Narcissus (DVD)
I bought this DVD because the shopper recommended it.I'm particularly like to see Art House movies,but not this one.It's the most confusing,nonsense,and disgusting thing I've ever seen.What's the point?I don't know.How it's become a classic film?I much more do not have any idea. If you wanna see some movies artistic,I recommend you to see other Art House movies such as Sex and Lucia or an Iranian movie,Gabbeh.You'll be more impressed.But if you wanna see the movie about gays,why don't you look at Happy together,Lanyu,or Trick?They're more worth seeing than this. This's just my feeling about this movie.Do not believe me all at once!See it yourselves if you've wanted to see it since first.But...but...if you don't have any interest in the movie,your feeling might be true.
