Just watched Black Narcissus. Amazing film!
If @iammichaelpowell & @emericpressburger had twitter accounts, this tweet would inform them of how much I loved their film Black Narcissus.
Last film: BLACK NARCISSUS (1947) - beautifully-shot drama that starts innocuously & builds to a fever-pitch. Echoes of Heart of Darkness
I saw BLACK NARCISSUS in glorious Technicolor. Sister Ruth, what a film!
My film viewing today has been good with Black Narcissus and Death of a Gunfighter. Curtailed now due to football. Sigh.
Watching Black Narcissus on film 4 has convinced me that I could NEVER be a nun!
Black Narcissus on @Film4 haven't seen such a good print before - brilliant film with the incomparable Deborah Kerr
Wow, watchin' Black Narcissus...amazing film.
Black Narcissus is such a beautifully photographed film. Jack Cardiff was a genius.Black Narcissus is on film 4, full of heat and repressed sexual tension! Kathleen Byron as Sister Ruth is particularly good! Magic!
@SunsetGunShot watching P+P's Black Narcissus for the very 1st time not sure what's more spectacular the film or David Farrar's shorts!!
Watching the film Black Narcissus, so beautifully shot and atmospheric
Black Narcissus is on. It's like Film Four want to see me fail second year.
