Narcissus and Echo

Long seemed invalid the Prophet's word, / But honored it was, by the outcome at last: / How odd the madness, how strange a death! (Ovid, Metamorphoses) NARCISSUS AND ECHO, a short film by Michael Brynntrup, is a “delightfully mannered game of deception, honored by the German Film Critics Association as the best experimental film of 1990. A highlight of camp aesthetic.” (Rundbrief Film) The director describes NARCISSUS AND ECHO as a film in the form of a riddle, a special kind of entertainment film whereby the film's content must be deduced from the film's formal structure.
