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...

"Black Narcissus" - a holy place where only saints and laity can live for a long time
Such exquisite photography is not unfamiliar. The color and black and white parallel "Illusory Realm" and the colorful fantasy fairy tale "Hong Lingyan" are all from the hand of the photographer - Jack Decaff. In "Illusionary Realm", a pink flower gradually faded its fresh life through his hands....

Light and shadow fan dream
Leaving aside the film's obsession with colonial chaos, and its ubiquitous Western-centrism—a subject that could have written dozens of essays—for the filming itself, the art, camera, and sound were impeccable , together to support a magnificent Gothic allegory.
In Jack Cardiff's documentary, he...

Mother Dorothea: -
[With Sister Clodagh: looking at photos of the palace at Mopu]
Mother Dorothea: The house is nine thousand feet up - very cold, but good air. General Toda Rai, who has invited us to Mopu, has promised us every help. He was a little afraid when he learned that we are bound to our order only by yearly vows. I explained this rule to him.
Sister Clodagh: Yes, Reverend Mother.
Mother Dorothea: For more than a century, to serve voluntarily has been one of the glories of our Order.
Sister Clodagh: And our greatest strength.
Mother Dorothea: Exactly. He understands now. Is there anything you would like to ask?
Sister Clodagh: Who am I to take with me?
-
Mother Dorothea: [the Reverend Mother and Sister Clodagh survey the sisters of the Order, determining who will go to Mopu] Remember, a community is not a class of girls. The sisters won't be easy to manage or to impress. Now, let me see. I'll give you Sister Briony. You'll need her strength.
Sister Clodagh: Thank you, Reverend Mother.
Mother Dorothea: Sister Philippa for the garden... Sister Blanche.
Sister Clodagh: Sister Blanche?
Mother Dorothea: You know what the other girls call her?
Sister Clodagh: Sister Honey.
Mother Dorothea: Yes, Honey. I think you'll need Sister Honey. She's popular. And you'll need to be popular... And Sister Ruth.
Sister Clodagh: [Surprised] But Sister Ruth is ill.
Mother Dorothea: That is why I want her to go.
Sister Clodagh: Forgive me for saying so, Reverend Mother, but do you think our vocation is her vocation?
Mother Dorothea: [Nodding knowingly] Yes, she's a problem. I'm afraid she'll be a problem for you, too. With a smaller community, she may be better. Give her responsibility, Sister. She badly wants importance.
Sister Clodagh: Do you think it's a good thing to let her feel important?
Mother Dorothea: Spare her some of your own importance... if you can.
Sister Clodagh: Mother, are you sorry that I have been appointed to take charge of St. Faith?
Mother Dorothea: Yes. I don't think you're ready for it, and I think you'll be lonely. Never forget: we're an order of workers. Work them hard. And remember... the superior of all is the servant of all.
Sister Clodagh: I understand.
