Current & Past Events
Black Narcissus Screening
“Plagued by uncertainties and worldly desires, five Protestant missionary nuns, led by Deborah Kerr’s Sister Clodagh, struggle to establish a school in the desolate Himalayas. All the elements of cinematic arts are perfectly fused in Powell and Pressburger’s fascinating study of the age-old conflict between the spirit and the flesh, set against the grandeur of the snowcapped peaks of Kanchenjunga.”—Criterion Collection
colourschool presents the third in a series of screenings dedicated to the work of British filmmakers Michael Powell and Emmerich Pressburger, who strategically employed colour as a vehicle for symbolism and expressionism. For this screening, the role of colour is discussed in relation to the film.
See David Kehr’s review of the film.
