Narcissus

About This Movie

Narcissus (2020) brings the haunting tale of Echo and Narcissus back into the modern age with a unique twist. The tone is introspective, almost melancholic, capturing the essence of longing and self-obsession. The pacing feels deliberate, leaving space for the audience to absorb the emotional weight of each moment. Practical effects used for the water imagery are particularly striking, giving a raw and organic feel that digital effects often miss. Performances stand out; the depth of the characters is palpable, especially in their moments of vulnerability. It's distinct in how it explores themes of isolation and reflection, making it a contemplative piece that lingers after the credits roll.
