Narcissus

Movie · 0h 22m

Starring Jean-Louis Morin, Sylvie Kinal, Sylvain Lafortune

In this short film by Norman McLaren, dancers enact the Greek tragedy of Narcissus, the beautiful youth whose excessive self-love condemned him to a trapped existence. Skilfully merging film, dance and music, the film is a compendium of the techniques McLaren acquired over a lifetime of experimentation.
