[@michaelbruns449]

A visually stunning dreamlike masterpiece, one of the ten most beautiful color movies ever made, seventy four years ago, wow...

[@Bl0odDot]

this trailer does no justice to the masterpiece i stumbled upon in my slumber one sleepless night many bright moons ago..

[@lorrainesmith4279]

It's all about repressed sexuality.......one of the nuns literally goes insane with repressed sexual desire. You have to watch this masterpiece quite a few times before you can truly understand it.

[@nicholas6255]

No, it's an utterly stupefying masterpiece.

[@benleung6331]

C Shizzle : "The nuns in this movie seem to behave like black boxes and I just can't comprehend why they are saying what they say and why they are doing what they do". That is because they are living in a place that is totally out of their element: intensely isolated, harsh climate, cultural clash, hostile native, and in the case of sister Clodagh and sister Ruth, their ego-battle. If you have ever tried to live in a foreign country alone where you don't speak the local language, maybe you can comprehend what kind of psychological effect it could have on your psyche.

[@catherinejane3129]

@@cshizzle7223 it is a great movie and perhaps it does not exist simply for you to understand it or to relate to it.er,,many 40s or 50s movies will have stilted dialogue.casablanca cannot be compared as they are too different

[@voiskumbeaver3285]

This and "The Small Back Room" are my favourite of Powell/Pressburger's. People go on about "The Red Shoes" but it doesn't do it as much for me.

[@radpancageni5184]

Who's here after watching Black Narcissus 2020??

[@philiplongee1149]

I'll have to wait until later in November to compare.

[@island_girl]

I just started watching it (the 2020 one). Is it good? Is it a remake of the movie or is it something else? *Edited- Was pretty good... then again, I haven't seen the original so maybe after I see it and compare them, I'll change my mind? Who knows! I do admit tho that when I first saw the previews it looked like a horror miniseries and was a little bit bummed out when I realize it wasn't. I was expecting a "The Nun" kinda story with demon possessions and all. 😂

[@philiplongee1149]

I finally saw it last night all 4 hrs! Slow burn 🔥 No crazy sex nuns (despite hot Gemma Atherton in charge) no pillow fights or even much of a steamy hook up with the charming Mr Fix it guy. He sent Sister Ruth packing and she couldn’t stand it ! I was kinda hoping Sally Field could fly in and save her soul. I’ll have to see ‘47 version to compare the eroticism.

[@robertlisternicholls]

It's on tonight 27,12.20 in the UK (BBC) - hope it's as good as the brilliant film.

[@johntosh0061]

It's a wonderful wonderful film - a cornucopia of delight. What geniuses Powell and Pressburger were, what masters of the art of cinema, what illustrators of our lives - not just then but now and for evermore. Their message is as valid and alive now as in former years.

I watched this on TMC last night and I have to say, it's beautifully shot! How the colors pop on screen, and how they made it look like it was made on locations. Also the climax was pretty nail-bitting. I'm glad I saw it.

[@LorraineMcFly]

Kathleen Byron should've won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance. Absolutely bone chilling.

[@hildanabuya9765]

My grandmother gave me a novel of black narcissus and I loved it! So I came here on KZbin and searched for it

[@bryanharrison7847]

I dont know how this film slipped by me all these years. What a pleasant surprise!

[@jckfmsincty]

Deborah Kerr gives a terrific performance in this movie.

[@MrChopper0077]

What a film! Very under the radar.

[@smokeemonkee]

This is much more than a simple "sex movie", it's more like an acid trip. Powell makes the viewer experience the thoughts and emotions of the characters by the words and actions he uses in a very covert and subtle way. You experience sex and sexuality but to call it a "sex movie" really is belittling it's unique power.

[@robertlisternicholls]

I agree. It has been called a nunsploitation film. Utter nonsense.

[@hamzarouri8454]

Such a beautiful and haunting masterpiece.

[@gailalcantara4492]

The actress playing Sister Ruth is so alluring, in a demented way.

[@rogerkincaid931]

Kathleen Byron.

[@philiplongee1149]

Some lip stick and red dress and she’s total sluttown.

[@mediacenterman8583]

She was the original example of unrequited love and paranoia. Utterly compelling.

[@007beck9]

I love Deborah Karr in the film this is one of my second favourite of hers my Best favourite of hers is The Innocents 1961.

[@OlgaLevin]

Have you seen Quo Vadis?

[@SmittenKitten.]

Agreed. Deborah Kerr is brilliant in both films. She's also stunningly beautiful. _The Innocents_ is my favorite adaptation of _The Turn of the Screw_ .

[@estebanottodream]

Masterpiece!

[@misonoresoconto]

The Technicolor (c) is gorgeous. Jack Cardiff was the maestro.

[@normansmithers8708]

BLACK NARCISSUS AND NIGHT OF THE HUNTER ARE 2 OF THE BEST FILMS YOU'LL EVER SEE. THEY WOULD BE EVEN BETTER WHEN SEEN ON THE BIG SCREEN. FOR ME THEY ARE 2 FRIGHTENING XMAS MOVIES.

[@randywhite3947]

I’m about to watch this movie for the first time

[@acdragonrider]

And?

[@randywhite3947]

@@acdragonrider I enjoyed it

[@Pentapus1024]

I've only ever caught little snippets here and there but it's been enough to leave an impression on me. It's amazing! Why do I keep neglecting to buy it.

[@SatchmoSings]

You can say whatever you want about this picture; it's a sex story, pure and simple and exquisitely done with two Academy Awards. It's a terrific picture that works on every level.

[@denisenoemyschizotypaldiso3755]

"Sex story" unfairly limits this well-done and richly imagined work.

[@lizclegg7556]

Greatest set design in cinema history.

[@WalterLiddy]

Incredible movie.

[@damonhackney6142]

I agree that this trailer doesnt transmute the idiosyncrasies and moral conundrums that are in this picture; it is still better than the shit previews being made today.

[@SmittenKitten.]

One of the problems with the "shit previews being made today" is the movies themselves are nothing to get excited about.

[@joshjacks2837]

Caught this several days ago on TCM and was instantly captivated. I was familiar with the shot looking down from the bell but, surprisingly, that was only a taste of what was to come.

[@ritadoucet-canada8480]

A display of the narcissus attitude of a nun being shown her way to God and his love through kindness and LOVE for all human kind. They called it black narcissus because of the smell but the story and plot has twist and turns that are allow us to reach far beyond and discover the LOVE of God.

[@lorrainesmith4279]

Jean Simmons was divine.........Vivien leigh, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn all rolled in to one.

[@michellelekas211]

This is one of the greatest films of all time Viva Cardiff

[@punkprincess208]

I want to Watch This Movie. I heard it has great cinematography

[@PersonOfTheInternet280]

Are there any spoilers this trailer doesn't include?

[@lust4bass]

One of the more breathtaking movie I saw lately. Favourite scene : the "potato terrace" scene. Favourite quote : "I give you to the rain season" Oddity : the black narcissus (Sabu) has next to nothing to do with the story, apart from the sisters' comments in the kitchen about his way of dressing. Btw, on the other hand, David Farrar's wardrobe choice is spot on. Who is the actor playing the holy man character? He doesnt seem to get any credit anywhere. Was he even an actor?

[@ThePayola123]

Jean Simmons does Black Face!

Sister Clodagh is Irish, but she speaks with a middle class ENGLISH accent.

Damn good thing I saw your comment before watching this.

[@ruthiehenshallfan99]

RYY79 lies. This is not HQ - its max resolution is 240P.

[@Bix12]

How many movies has Deborah Kerr been in where she's played a nun?

[@nicoleackerman205]

A lot.

[@WalterLiddy]

@SatchmoSings There is nothing simple about this film.

"Rumer" is the name of a child of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis.

[@NerdyWillowTree]

So 240p is HQ? Yeah, sure!

[@tyrannosaurusburke]

I haven't seen this movie yet, but I find the title strange. The movie is about Catholic nuns, yet Narcissus is a Greek mythological figure. Plus, there are no black people in the movie.

[@ledeyabaklykova]

And the gratuitous nude shower scene is quite vulgar and bothersome, too long and out-of-place.

[@clairemorris3403]

It's the name of the novel It's based on. The name is explained there.

@WalterLiddy No, there is nothing simple about this film; the narrative and its characters is a very rich and broad tapestry. But when asked what kind of movie this is, I simply say "It's A Sex Movie" which is precisely what it is.

[@rhodiusscrolls3080]

This is by far a better version although Sabu is the most laughable casting . The whole thing has the necessary air of unreality and the scenes involving the past in Ireland and the kitschy Christmas celebration are very strong in their depiction. You cannot surpass this bottom of the garden India and exaggerated habits although Runer Godden is said to have disliked the adaptation.

[@HllXllN]
