Himself as Herself

About This Movie

Himself as Herself is this intriguing 1967 piece by Gregory J. Markopoulos, where the lines between masculinity and femininity blur in a really fascinating way. The protagonist, who embodies a strong masculine persona, finds himself drawn to these soft, feminine elements that disrupt his sense of self. It’s all intercut in a way that reflects this internal struggle, with each identity almost gesturing at the other. The film has this melancholy tone that lingers, combined with a transcendent atmosphere that makes you sit with your thoughts. The pacing feels meditative, almost dreamlike, with practical effects that heighten its surreal quality. There's a certain depth to the performances that really draws you in, making it a distinctly introspective experience.
