Movie Reviews of Black Narcissus (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: This may be the most beautiful film ever made
Summary: 5 Stars

I have been a fan of Black Narcissus since first viewing it on a laser disk almost two decades ago. How could I not have been? It has a fascinating subject, an intelligent script, uniformly excellent performances and a striking visual style. Pure Powell and Pressburger! But not until I saw this film in its current Criterion Blu-Ray presentation, projected on a 120 inch screen, did I realize how beautiful it is and how that visual beauty reinforces the ugliness that presents itself to the characters in the course of the story.

This may be the beautiful motion picture ever made.

Summary of Black Narcissus (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

This explosive work about the conflict between the spirit and the flesh is the epitome of the sensuous style of filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (I Know Where I?m Going!, The Red Shoes). A group of nuns?played by some of Britain?s best actresses, including Deborah Kerr (From Here to Eternity, An Affair to Remember), Flora Robson (The Rise of Catherine the Great, Wuthering Heights), and Jean Simmons (Great Expectations, Hamlet)?struggles to establish a convent in the snowcapped Himalayas; isolation, extreme weather, altitude, and culture clashes all conspire to drive the well-intentioned missionaries mad. A darkly grand film that won Oscars for its set design and for its cinematography by Jack Cardiff (The Red Shoes, The African Queen), Black Narcissus is one of the greatest achievements by two of cinema?s true visionaries.
