SUMMARY:Black Narcissus (1947)
DESCRIPTION:This explosive work about the conflict between the spirit and the flesh is the epitome of the sensuous style of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. A group of nuns – played by some of Britain’s finest actresses\, including Deborah Kerr\, Kathleen Byron\, and Flora Robson – struggle to establish a convent in the Himalayas\, while isolation\, extreme weather\, altitude\, and culture clashes all conspire to drive the well-intentioned missionaries mad. \n\n\n\nWith the help of set designer Alfred Junge and cinematographer Jack Cardiff (both rewarded with Academy Awards)\, Powell and Pressburger convincingly created a Himalayan convent on a Pinewood soundstage\, lending the proceedings a tense\, claustrophobic atmosphere \n\n\n\nThis screening will be Introduced by Victoria Brown. A horror lover\, Victoria writes for BanterFlix and FrightClub NI and is the founder of The Readers in the Rue Morgue Horror Book Club and Film Club. \n\n\n\nProgrammed as part of a season celebrating the work – and influence – of film-makers Powell and Pressburger.
