Canada, 1972. Dominic, 22 years old, has a fetish... for himself. Nothing turns him on more than his reflection, with much of his time spent taking Polaroid selfies. When his loving grandmother dies, he discovers a deep family secret: his lesbian mother didn't die in childbirth and he has a twin brother, Daniel, raised in a remote monastery by a depraved priest. The power of destiny brings back together the two beautiful, identical brothers, who, after being reunited with their mother Beatrice, are soon embroiled in a strange web of sex, revenge and redemption.

The film is a bit too self-involved to be much fun for anyone else. Go to Full Review Marina Ashioti Little White Lies 04/25/2022

Saint-Narcisse is a welcome blast of subversive naughtiness, proving that a film can tackle social taboos while refusing to brand itself with facile markers of respectability. Go to Full Review Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews 07/31/2023
4.5/5
Bruce La Bruce‘s Saint-Narcisse, a one-of-a-kind gem of a movie (...) that’s supposed to be about a young man who is in love with his own image but is really about what it means to be a human being in the 2020s. Go to Full Review Terry Mesnard Gayly Dreadful 06/04/2022
4/5
Uncomfortable and unconventional, yet bursting with surprising heart and humor, Saint-Narcisse feels like a culmination of the themes La Bruce has explored throughout his career. Go to Full Review John Paul King Washington Blade 05/19/2022
A sinfully satisfying cinematic snack. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

John S Mar 30 Two stars is a generous rating and it’s due to the fact that if 20 minutes had been edited out of the movie it had some vaguely interesting situations. The acting was poor and the pacing boring but it was fun anticipating what weirdness would next transpire. As one reviewer pointed out, “don’t be mislead by the cover art, go and put on some decent porn instead.” Or watch season 3 of “White Lotus”. See more RebelHeart X 05/25/2024 Another erotic masterpiece by Mr Labruce See more Alcides V 02/11/2024 The word I would use for this movie is "fresh". There is a lot of weight into a story that builds itself as the movie progresses, until it ends up with a clearly formed thematic idea. And it does it while letting the viewer enjoy incredibly well-crafted scenes and scenery. See more Ivan H 02/11/2024 Mind breaking, absolute must see! See more Michael C 02/04/2023 Great flim acting and superb film!! Masterpiece!!! See more dave d 06/14/2022 There are so many problems with Saint Narcisse it's hard to believe it's in focus. Whoever edited the film and whoever thought it was a good idea to not be able to hear dialogue over background noise should be fired immediately. The film isn't worth rewinding or watching. If you like what you see on the cover of the DVD, then just go watch porn. It's slow and boring and at times unwatchable. From the twisted mind of a filmmaker, Bruce LaBruce, who is up his own behind. Maybe as a short, but no way as a feature, this is an easy miss. A comedy-drama where you never laugh and the drama is just lazy and flat. College students could do better work. Final Score: 1.6/10 See more Read all reviews
