"'Black Narcissus", now heralded as a masterpiece, is a landmark film in the influential canon of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. With the centenary of Powell's birth in 2005 this timely book - the first dedicated exclusively to the film - draws on archival documents, original set drawings and stills to demonstrate its remarkable achievements, both as a production and as a vehicle for ideas. Looking at the film's enduring images of both place and gender, Sarah Street also examines "Black Narcissus" as a masterly technical accomplishment - with cinematographer Jack Cardiff's experiments in Technicolor just one of its many advances - as well as a meditation on the end of empire. Looking too at the film's controversial reception by international critics and censors, and its subsequent impact on experimental filmmakers, Street explores issues of technique, style, performance and interpretation to reveal the continued relevance of "Black Narcissus" today.

a couple issues with shipping, otherwise ok 13 April 2014

I didn't realize that when I requested the book early, I'd have to be home to sign for the package. Furthermore, the book shipped from India (I had no idea!), making it more difficult to deal with FedEx customer service. It would have been better if they had just left the package - not requiring a signature for delivery. But this might be the only option for expedited shipping from FedEx. Book itself was in perfect shape.

By Paula L. Guthat -
Really great thorough book on the background, making, and themes of the Powell/Pressburger classic. Fun facts, interviews and pics. Really nicely done and not pretentious. You'll get more out of the film which is really a high compliment to this type of book.
