Dance film Narcissus by McLaren

Decided it was time to look again at this...McLaren's last film apart from 'Creative Process'.
Interesting that it is billed by NFT as showing a compendium of McLaren's techniques and good for me to reassess it at this point in my own film making.
The lighting is so good...what you can achieve with full crew and no restrictions! But I am not so sure about the use of movement blur tho I can see why Norman used it. I like his use of blur in 'Chairy Tale' and have used the same idea in stills myself. This remains however one of the great dance films and a wonderful example... made in 1983 after all!
