Narcisa

Directed by Caroquito
Tones: contemplative, mythic, surreal
Greek beauty, image, love, obsession: in this feminine rewriting of the myth for our time, Narcisa's reflections of yesterday and today blur together.

A feminine Narcisa retelling sounds like the kind of mythological remix everyone's doing now, but Caroquito's collapse of yesterday and today into a single mirror-space feels genuinely disorienting—less gender-studies box-check, more formal dismantling of how we construct the self.
Caroquito situates this firmly in the lineage of feminist myth-work and experimental portraiture, but what arrests is the precision of the temporal collapse: the editing syntax that fuses past and present reflection suggests a director thinking rigorously about form as argument, not decoration.
Two minutes to hold a doubled temporality without narrative scaffolding is audacious, and the choice to blur reflections rather than separate them—that single formal decision—transforms what could be a straightforward retelling into something structurally radical.
