The picture is too delicate The feeling of oil painting is very strong and solemn, but the colors are mixed with mysticism, which corresponds to the theme of the story: religious discipline and inner lust and...

The set is absolutely beautiful and so are the actors. The whole film is full of complex emotions of admiration and contempt for human nature and oriental style, indulging and...

9 Desires are in the heart, and extreme repression will lead to extreme rebound. In Powell's film of religious collapse, devoting to religion is nothing but escapism and suppression. Not only men, but even the beauty that fills the film will become an incentive. The film also replaces the best of both Hollywood and Europe, using stream-of-consciousness to shape characters in a fluid narrative. The disadvantage lies in the ignorance and misuse of Asian culture, but it can also be directly...

【Great Bright Britain Masters Exhibition】1. The charming Powell/Pressberg masterpieces are enough to prove that the classical theme, narrative and audio-visual language are still timeless. 2. Symbolic and expressive use of color: the contrast of red (passion, lust and death) and black and white (discipline and abstinence), the horrifying enchanted nun in red with red lips and eyes, plus the blue ballroom . 3. The film constructs multiple sets of binomial oppositions in form and content:...

"I already like this place, let me get out of this place." The nun who likes to grow crops into flowers. Why do you suppress your own nature so much? Do it if you...

3.5; The pure blue light of the snow-capped mountains in the first half and the rosy blood in the second half are exactly the contrast of the nuns' sprouting and swaying postures. The mirror images of restraint and wildness alternately completed the Western religion in the East in the monastery. Aphasia before the spectacle. Not without curiosity, not without exaggeration, the rush and provocation of lust, after entering this no-man's land, "the world is crowded in", the forgotten past is...

Black Daffodils - Withered Life
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...

Powell and Pressburger's "Black Narcissus"
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,...

Mother Dorothea: [Telling Sister Clodagh what to expect at Mopu] The agent at Mopu is an Englishman. He seems a difficult man. You won't get much help from him.

The Old General: [Speaking to the old Ayah, who dates back to when the palace, now intended for nuns, was used to house Toda Rai's father's concubines] Now listen, Ayah. I have invited some ladies to stay here, at the "house of women."
Angu Ayah: [Ecstatic, not realizing that the "ladies" Toda Rai is referring to are nuns] Ladies! Oh, that will be like old times!
The Old General: It will not be in the least like old times. They are not that kind of "lady" at all!
Angu Ayah: Then they won't be any fun.
The Old General: They are not coming for fun. These are nuns. Do you know what a nun is?
Angu Ayah: [Disdainfully] They kneel and pray all day like the monks you invited last year.
The Old General: I'm going to give them this house to make a school and a hospital for the people.
Angu Ayah: [Agitated, her voice rising] You know nobody here wants a school, and I'm sure they don't want a hospital!
The Old General: How do they know what they want until they try?
[Mr. Dean enters the room]
The Old General: The people have all kinds of diseases. They have ringworms.
Mr. Dean: They don't mind having ringworm.
The Old General: Then they ought to mind. And it will all be free!
Angu Ayah: It was free last time, and nobody came!
The Old General: They will this time.
