Lilac Lips, Dutchess County(2021)

Lilac Lips, Dutchess County is a fantastical modern retelling of the Narcissus myth. Set against contemporary landscapes, the film reimagines the ancient tale of vanity and self-obsession through a fresh lens. A character consumed by their own reflection and beauty becomes trapped in a cycle of desire and delusion, unable to break free from the spell of self-love. The story explores themes of obsession, isolation, and the destructive nature of unchecked ego. With a dreamlike visual style and surreal narrative, Lilac Lips, Dutchess County transforms a classical tragedy into something wholly contemporary, examining how modern culture amplifies narcissism and the psychological toll it takes. The film captures the seductive danger of self-absorption while maintaining the mythological weight of its source material.
