Original poster for Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's BLACK NARCISSUS ('47). The Himalayan scenery was all created in the studio (with glass shots and hanging miniatures), much to the surprise of some cast and crew-members who were anticipating a location shoot in Asia.

I’m a big, sappy fan of Powell and Pressburger films. I like almost everything they made (except Gone to Earth, sorry guys), and I’ve watched almost all of em. They’re great. Small Back Room was not on the official list, but I was in a Powell and Pressburger kind of a mood tonight so I picked up this 1949 film. I actually couldn’t get the damn name right, I kept calling it Little Black Room... then Small Black Room... only to realize it was Small Back Room which makes more sense having actually seen the movie. I have to admit, I didn’t really enjoy it as much as other P&P films but it did have some wonderful moments and is not a bad film by any means. David Farrar and Kathleen Byron are wonderful. Farrar in particular shines in this movie, especially the scenes in which he’s blind drunk. But my favorite character was actually Corporal Taylor played by the great Cyril Cusack. I thought he was a bit of a scene-stealer. #smallbackroom #1949 #film #starring #davidfarrar #kathleenbyron #cyrilcusack #andlotsofothers #directedby #writtenby #producedby #thearchers #aka #powellandpressburger https://www.instagram.com/p/Be9rjJ4h-0Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n8rr3zp5k5yb

Tonight's #criterion rewatch, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's BLACK NARCISSUS (1947) is a movie that's embedded itself in my DNA since I first saw it. There are many dialects in cinematic language; this movie exists in a very specific one, from a very specific time and place, but it's that dialect's magnum opus. The colour, light, music, cutting and camera movement seem to tap into some instinctive, unknowable truth about the way our brains process movies, and it makes the whole thing pulse with subliminal power. #criterioncollection #blacknarcissus #thearchers #michaelpowell #emericpressburger #deborahkerr #sabu #jeansimmons #jackcardiff #brianeasdale #davidfarrar #florarobson
