The film explores a rather obscure subject, whether to stoically convert to religious innocence or to let oneself live a life of feasting. The film uses more delicate expressions and actions to gradually reflect the psychological changes of the characters. The secular characters and convent nuns...

I'll just take a note. The first impression of the film is that the colors and landscapes are a beauty rarely seen in contemporary films. This is intentional. British films of the same era were all about reality. And at that time, many filmmakers were actually walking on the road of realism....

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...

Because in the monastery, men are not seen all the year round, so this kind of man riding a donkey, showing his chest hair and wearing shorts can also attract a lot of women. In their minds, he is very handsome. The nun killed her companion for his intentions! They probably don't know that there is...

Let me start by asking a simple question: what is the force that drives the nuns mad? After reading some of the film reviews, I found that everyone focused on Mr. Dean, the only white male in the show, and thought he had stirred up the nuns' desires. I think it is too simplistic to attribute it to...

The natives are portrayed in innocence and childishness, represented by the muted holy man of the old man sitting on his tree in eternal meditation; the unbridled exoticism represented by the young general and Kanchi of Eastern mysticism. Kanchi, like a man of the Holy Spirit, never speaks, her...

Probably Powell and Pressburger's most conventional film, Black Narcissus is required viewing, even if it isn't their finest hour. A bizarre melodrama about English nuns attempting to establish a mission high up in the Himalayas, Narcissus is somewhat of a companion piece to I Know Where I'm Going,...

"It's the most erotic film that i have ever made. It is all done by suggestion, but eroticism is in every frame and image, from the beginning to the end." —Michael Powell

(This is the most erotic film I've ever made, with only metaphors, but every frame and every picture is erotic from start to...

This is an Indian colonial version of "Spring in a Small Town", but the latter is limited to a subtle and bitter atmosphere, or that film can only refer to something else because it can't refer to too much, an awkward end, It makes the spring of a small town out of the reality shown by the....

I stumbled upon an old movie "Black Narcissus" filmed in 1947. I finally found resources to watch it, and I liked it very much. The story takes place in the Himalayas in Nepal, where the scenery is beautiful, and a group of nuns were sent by the church to the fairyland on earth to preach, run...
