Review of Black Narcissus (1947) by Pierluigi P — 06 Nov 2010
Another cumulous of the talent of filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger and cinematographer Jack Cardiff.
The arrival into the imponent temple on the mountain arouses various kinds of intense emotions among the members of the convent of saint mary. Feelings that question their loyalty to their beliefs and way of living. Especially in the already unstable sister Ruth, who is almost an evil twin or doppelganger of the righteous Sister Clodagh.
An oeuvre of exotism, clash of cultures and above the rest unpolluted visual beauty, of fascinating luminic and cromatic contrasts.
I think I'll never have the pleasure to see in real life a nun as sweet and pretty as Ms. Deborah Kerr.
