The man is at the foot of the mountain, always looking at the holy place on the upper right; the nuns are soaked by the pure air and water at high altitude, and the impurities in their minds are sifted out like a filter; in a natural state. Young Indian princes and dissolute dancers were the first to be swallowed up by temptation; the black Narcissus was born in their eyes, and self-love (here refers to the desire arising from human interaction, longing to be recognized and loved) is a gift given by the world, Also torture.

The film is breathless, with metaphors and eternity scenes that make it seem like a dream. Woke up in a cold sweat and found its details so real, but incomprehensible.

Black Narcissus quotes

  • Angu Ayah: [Ayah and Mr. Dean both admire an old wall painting which depicts the palace in its former glory days, when it served as the so-called "House of Women" - a place where Toda Rai's father housed his concubines] A convent in this house! What do you think of that?

    Mr. Dean: The brothers only stayed five months. Perhaps the sisters won't stay long, either.

    [Ayah and Mr. Dean grin mischievously at each other]

  • 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?
