Description
Following WW2, British audiences came to terms with losing their colonial influence and that sentiment is reflected in Black Narcissus, from directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. We dive into the complexity of this film's themes, how it utilizes technicolor, and the unfortunate use of black face that still drags it down. We also take a look at why the National Legion of Decency believed Black Narcissus was an affront to religion.Where to watch Black NarcissusThe National Legion of Decency's thoughts on Black NarcissusWhere to watch The Red Shoes (1948)
