Narcissus DVD – Vincent Warren , Margaret Mercier

Narcissus features three of Norman McLaren’s finest works. Narcissus: In Narcissus Norman McLaren’s balletic interpretation of the Greek myth dancers enact the tragedy of the beautiful youth who condemns himself to a trapped existence through excessive self-love. Visually stunning the film is a compendium of McLaren techniques developed over a lifetime of experimentation. Film dance and music are skillfully merged to celebrate the ancient myth and its timeless significance
