I still love this great color...

1. It seems that the director has inherited quite a lot from early expressionism, in terms of lighting, sets, and makeup. Although this is a bright color film, the overall tone is very, very noir. 2. The traces of the set board and the model shooting are still obvious now, but it can be seen that the production is quite good. 3. The actions of the nuns going to the high mountains to run the monastery seem to be a metaphor for the entire British colonial era. The overall position of the film is...

The bell and the monastery on the abyss form an ingenious metaphor and symbol. One is the detachment and redemption contained in religion, as well as self-avoidance and exile in a certain sense. The other is the inescapable abyss of reality, desire and human nature. The perilous and final battle under the bell of the Holy Spirit, no matter who crashed last, is a noble annihilation. Man's desire stifled God's redemption, reality crushed the escape of falsehood, and the sudden rain was defeated....

Both the monastery on the mountain and the imaginary Indian scenery are full of a sense of unreality, making this story of competing with desire more like a fable. The nun ringing the bell and the imprisoned sexual desire are the two most opposite symbols. The black narcissus in the title is a physical temptation. In fact, the name Sifan is not bad. The first half of the movie is a little boring. After the nun goes crazy, it adds some suspenseful style. The nun's clothes constitute a strong...

I slept for half an hour, with an uncomfortable lust for the East, and a perverted sense of depression. It is a movie with good technology but inner...

A group of nuns went to a deserted place in India to run a church and a school. The local Indians didn't even know what they were, but they respected those who believed in them. So several little nuns lost their minds under the harsh environment, the oppression of beliefs in different places, and the temptation of Emperor Tiangao. It looked boring from the front, but Ruth was horrified when he was still...

The rainy season in India is humid and sultry, the photography is beautiful, and the fairyland-like valley evokes various longings and desires of the nuns who are bound by religion, involving questioning and reflection on religion. There are scenes that always connect me to Junji Ito's "The Vortex," a strange psychological...

The obscenity of the East is an irresistible temptation, just like the youthful and dark young marshal and Gan Ji, charming and vulgar, very spectacle... In a heart-shattering environment, the so-called rational restraint , the end is not schizophrenia, is to endure internal...

In the end, it turned into a thriller with a very exaggerated image, which was magical. I thought it would be a typical Hollywood story, but in fact, the struggle of the protagonist can be seen but not clear, and the final tension is not very big. Looking forward to a scene of falling off a cliff at the end, but unfortunately there is no scene. Powell was compared by his compatriot Hitchcock. The scene of "The Cape Man" falling from the Statue of Liberty is...
