BLACK NARCISSUS
starstarstarstarstar
A stunner from one of the great collaborative teams in the history of cinema and an anomaly in British film of the 1940s. Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger continued their string of daring, idiosyncratic films (Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, The Red Shoes) with this full-blown melodrama concerning a group of Anglican nuns who attempt to establish a school and hospital at an ancient ruler's castle-cum-bordello high in the Himalayas. Deborah Kerr, Jean Simmons and Sabu star. Read the complete review for Black Narcissus
