Black Narcissus: Film Review

Image
Directed by: Emeric Pressburger, Michael Powell Staring: Deborah Kerr, Kathleen Byron, Jean Simmons, David Farrar  Year of Release: 1947 Fig. 1 For this film review I shall be taking a major interest in the color palette and the matte painting.The use of matte painting and the detail within them help to bring life into the world of the travelling nuns often times portraying impossible heights and over the top  grandeur  in its wide angle landscapes.  Fig. 2 "where once wine flowed and harem ladies cavorted, is a brilliant achievement in color composition."  - The New York Times, 1947 The thought of building being built literally on the edge of a cliff evokes a sort of fantastical feeling from the viewer setting us up for the general mood of story of something being just on the edge of possibility with a hint of the fantastical. Fig. 3 The image above serves to display the masterful use of colour throughout the film as the blues and whites shown on

Apochi

Tired and weary I dragged my aching body across accursed barren lands to fall upon the heels of the city Apochí. Contrary to its name though nothing about this city represents abstention, instead I found a land backed in the perverse with building erected high into the sky forcefully penetrating the emptiness that surrounded them. The air around this city was thick and musty and surrounded me in its warm embrace as I slowly entered city. There were no people in the city and it seemed nature had come to reclaim its land as lush dense bush had begun to grow all over the city. Using the remainder of my energy I carved out a path to try and make my way towards the centre. More phallic structures began to appear the further I went into the city. Varying in shape and size some thin and long whilst others short and girthy,their variety in sizes only equaled by the number of colours they came in, ranging from turkey breast white to the darkest of onyx. I tried to avert my eyes
