“There's something in the atmosphere that makes everything seem exaggerated.”Talking About Powell & Pressburger's 1947 film Black Narcissus with our guest, screenwriter James HandelIn this episode of Movies We Like, screenwriter James Handel joins hosts Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to discuss Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1947 masterpiece Black Narcissus, along with Handel's fascinating career writing genre-bending films like The Last Horror Movie, The Hoarder, and his latest psychological dramedy The Trouble with Jessica.From Philosophy to FilmBefore diving into Black Narcissus, Handel shares candid insights about his journey from philosophy student to screenwriter, starting with an unproduced vampire script and eventually leading to successful collaborations with directors Julian Richards and Matt Winn. He discusses how his background in philosophy influences his approach to moral dilemmas and character psychology in his screenplays, particularly evident in The Trouble with Jessica's darkly comic exploration of ethics and human nature.A Masterpiece of Psychological DramaThe conversation then turns to Black Narcissus, examining how Powell and Pressburger crafted this visually stunning psychological drama about Anglican nuns attempting to establish a convent in the Himalayas. The group discusses the film's groundbreaking technical achievements, with Jack Cardiff's Oscar-winning Technicolor cinematography bringing the entirely studio-shot production to vivid life. They explore how the film masterfully depicts the psychological deterioration of the nuns as they struggle with repressed desires, loss of faith, and the overwhelming power of their environment, all while maintaining a remarkable balance between expressionism and restraint.Black Narcissus remains a masterclass in psychological storytelling and visual craftsmanship, demonstrating how thoughtful restraint and artistic innovation can create an unforgettable cinematic experience. We thoroughly enjoyed diving deep into this classic with James Handel, whose own work carries forward the tradition of examining complex moral questions through compelling drama.Film SundriesWatch our conversation on YouTube!Watch this on Apple or Amazon, or find other places at LetterboxdScript OptionsTheatrical trailerOriginal Material Learn how to support our show and The Next Reel's family of film podcasts by becoming a member.

Director and writer Harrison Atkins (Lace Crater) joins for a discussion of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's rhapsodic 1947 drama, BLACK NARCISSUS starring Deborah Kerr, Kathleen Byron, David Farrar and Sabu. Based on Rumer Godden's novel, BLACK NARCISSUS tells the story of Anglican nuns establishing a convent on a Himalayan mountaintop. Overwhelmed by the region's natural beauty and their own natural urges, the sisters begin to question their lives as nuns. Shot in stunning Technicolor by cinematographer Jack Cardiff, BLACK NARCISSUS is one of Powell and Pressburger's defining films, a thorny, surprisingly modern work on female devotion, repression, lust and madness. Join Mama Needs a Movie as it gazes into BLACK NARCISSUS, with some diversions into Annihilation, Paris Is Burning, declining horniness, Madeline, Silence, haircuts, Sister Wendy and much, much more! BLACK NARCISSUS is available to stream with subscription to The Criterion Channel or Max, and can be streamed for free on Freevee, Tubi, and The Roku Channel.
Life, death, the great beyond. All this and more is explored in Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's innovative Technicolor dreamworld: A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2023/10/31/in-conversation-with-pamela-hutchinson-on-the-red-shoes/ There is a major retrospective of the films of Powell & Pressburger currently underway in London at the BFI Southbank – the most extensive celebration of their work ever undertaken -- selections of which will tour the country. As part of the celebrations, the BFI has published a short monograph by Pamela Hutchinson on THE RED SHOES -- one of their greatest films -- under its ‘BFI Film Classics' imprint. I found it fun to read and very informative, with an impressive range of sources, intelligently organised. The book is beautifully written in a way that seems personal but is so impressively argued it becomes very difficult to argue against; and with a delightful mode of narrating: ‘but perhaps you disagree with my take.' It's both impressive and entertaining and it made me want to talk to Pam some more about the film and the book. In the accompanying podcast, we discuss the following: Who are Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger and what is their significance to a history of cinema in general, and British cinema in particular? What is the enduring appeal of THE RED SHOES. Why does the film feel so distinctly British but also so different from the British Cinema then being produced. What is the context for the film's theme of ‘dying for art'. How did the filmmakers and cinematographer Jack Cardiff achieve a style of colour so different than that normally produced by Technicolour productions under the direction of Natalie Kalmus? What is a composed film? What is the relationship of a ‘composed film' to the concept of Gesuntkunstwerk? What was the status of ballet then and how does the film deploy the form? Was the film an influence on MGM Freed Unit Productions such as AN AMERICAN IN PARIS? What did Anton Walbrook and Moira Shearer bring to the film and what happened to the after? And much more. I have spoken to Pam previously on her other brilliant BFI classic on PANDORA'S BOX; listeners might want to have a look at the Silent London website on all aspects of Silent Cinema that she directs and writes in. Pam will be talking on THE RED SHOES at the Midlands Arts Centre on the 16th of December to accompany a screening of the film. The MAC cinema has arguably the best projection system in the Midlands, a perfect place to see such a great and sumptuous film. Do I need to say that the book is a perfect stocking filler for Christmas?
Con un ritmo atronador como la embestida de un elefante, los primeros 45 minutos del Último tren a Katanga (Dark of the Sun) nos adentran en el corazón del continente negro, esquilmado por las grandes potencias desde el periodo colonial. Bajamos del avión con los dos mercenarios (Rod Taylor y Jim Brown), en un aeropuerto con olor a muerte y miedo, todos quieren huir de allí menos ellos, traspasando los controles de las naciones unidas, armados, así se lo hará saber Curry a los cascos azules que les quieren retener. Tienen órdenes firmadas directamente por el nuevo presidente del país, trasunto del joven dictador Mobutu. En la reunión con el mandatario y un orondo empresario occidental les dejan clara su misión; rescatar un cargamento de diamantes en medio de las revueltas simbas es el objetivo prioritario, de paso también salvar todas las vidas posibles. Jack Cardiff adaptó con solvencia la novela del africano Wilbur Smith, “El lado oscuro del sol”, en pleno siglo XX tras la independencia del Congo Belga en 1960. El peso del film cae en la relación entre los dos colegas, con un personaje femenino bastante plano (Yvenne Mimieux), cuyo marido ha sido asesinado por los simbas. Los insulsos diálogos entre la chica y el capitán sugieren que algunas partes del film han sido suprimidas en el montaje. Los rebeldes nativos en contra del gobierno apoyado por la CIA, son retratados poco menos que como caníbales sádicos, similares a los zombies de los films de Romero o Lucio Fulci. La matanza no solo la perpetran ellos, todos tienen las manos manchadas de sangre. Las fuerzas de las naciones unidas. Aparte de para “pacificar”, están ahí para facilitar el saqueo de los recursos naturales de la zona. Como dice Curry tras reconocer el rifle del médico entre los masacrados del poblado donde decidió quedarse. Al médico -Kenneth More-, alcoholizado. le da igual quedarse a merced de los rebeldes, quizá ha visto ya demasiado. Entre los reclutas de Curry para su complicada misión también destaca un nazi infanticida -Peter Carsten-, inspirado en el militar Siegfried Müller, que se desempeñó como oficial del Comando 5 durante la Crisis del Congo, y portaba con orgullo su cruz de hierro. Toda la película se conduce con un paso trepidante, y rezuma una violencia poco usual para la época, con un final desfasado y apocalíptico con violaciones y asesinatos en una orgía de sangre. Cardiff contestó a las críticas afirmando que lo que mostró era muy liviano comparado con los documentos que había leído sobre las revueltas reales. Esta noche asistimos atónitos al infierno de Katanga… Zacarías Cotán. Salvador Limón y Raúl Gallego

In the 1970s, someone thought it'd be a cool idea to mix the ideas of Tod Browning's Freaks with a Frankenstein story genetically modified with DNA. This horror movie trades in the objectification of people that are different, women tits getting a breath of fresh air, and really cool fast-motion plant footage. We tried to be careful with our language and ableism discourse. Maybe we didn't nail it, but we tried our darndest and are always striving to get better.

When you were looking for a movie with a gimmick, and 3-D has ran it's course, then Smell-O-Vision just may be for you! Invented by Hans Laube in 1939 and brought to a wider audience by Mike Todd Jr. in 1960, Smell-O-Vision certainly left a smell with audiences and critics alike.

This week Ray teaches Rob how scents have been shown with film for over 115 years, about the film “Scent of Mystery”, whether audiences were excited about getting to smell the scent of bread during a movie, and how director Jack Cardiff had a nose for film.

We continue Mercenary Month with a classic, 'Dark of the Sun'. Jack Cardiff's 1968 action movie that follows a band of Congolese commandos attempting to retrieve a huge diamond haul before the Simbas arrive. An artistic but visceral film staring Rod Taylor, Yvette Mimieux, Jim Brown, Peter Carsten and Kenneth More. Skilfully shot, lots of impressive action and some good performances combine to create a compelling film.

Cinematography is the highlight in this week's movie. We tackle Sons and Lovers, directed by Jack Cardiff. A film built more on themes than plot, we meander along Paul and the frustrations of being a young adult. Spoiler alert, it's pretty frustrating.

A través de la bruma del destino nos llega una leyenda de Amor Inmortal, una elegía romántica llevada al extremo: Pandora y el Holandés Errante. Una historia que te atrapa, como los ojos de Ava Gardner (Pandora), como el dolor sordo de James Mason (El Holandés), como los versos eternos de Omar Khayyam. El mar arroja dos cuerpos a una playa catalana, unas manos entrelazadas que cuentan, desde la muerte, una historia de culpa y castigo, una afrenta a Dios y a los hombres… una maldición. Albert Lewin dirigió en 1951 esta obra oculta y misteriosa, con la portentosa fotografía de Jack Cardiff, que consigue una atmósfera realmente extraordinaria, hipnótica. Dos espíritus atormentados a merced del destino, acompañados por la sangre y la muerte, que irremediablemente llevamos incrustadas en nuestra historia, dos seres sitiados por la culpa y la tragedia. Pandora y Ava Gardner se fusionan, la realidad y el mito se confunden. La crueldad y el desdén existencial de una mujer, tan bella como infeliz….Una Diosa Pagana, con su cohorte de admiradores, totalmente entregados a su belleza, víctimas de sus deseos y su voluptuosidad. Un poeta, Reggie Demarest, que no podrá soportar el amor no correspondido; un piloto de carreras, Stephen Cameron, al que Pandora obligará a arrojar su coche, su trabajo, su vida….. por un acantilado; un torero, Montalvo, que asesinará y será asesinado…… Los ojos de Pandora esconden una tristeza infinita, detrás de esa belleza tan intensa y perturbadora, Geoffrey, un viejo historiador, nos contará su leyenda, por entre la niebla del recuerdo y la fábula. Albert Lewin fue uno de los hombres clave de la Metro, asesor y mano derecha de Irving Thalberg. Un tipo extremadamente culto, amante de la pintura y la literatura, que se encargaba de dar el toque final a los guiones del Estudio. Solo tiene media docena de películas como director, pero son todas excepcionales y sumamente desconcertantes, autenticas rarezas, donde se ahonda en la corrupción moral de los hombres y en la búsqueda de una redención imposible. El Retrato de Dorian Gray, adaptando a Oscar Wilde, La Luna y 6 peniques con guión de Somerset Maugham o Los asuntos privados de Bel Ami, de Maupassant. Pandora es una obra fascinante y compleja, nada accesible, con multitud de referencias literarias, la propia leyenda del siglo XVI, la opera de Wagner, la mitología griega, incluso la historia del vampiro que busca el amor a través de océanos de tiempo… Una visión del amor verdadero, preñada con los versos del Rubaiyat de Khayyam… “Pero el dedo implacable sigue y sigue escribiendo. Seducirlo no podrás con tu piedad o tu ingenio para lo escrito tachar o con tus lágrimas borrar ni una coma ni un acento”. La fatalidad y el imparable curso del destino replican esta noche en el campanario de Radiopolis, dos cuerpos sin vida yacen con las manos y las almas entrelazadas…. la gente se aproxima a la playa, entre los curiosos nos encontramos Zacarias Cotán, Salvador Limón, Raúl Gallego y Gervi Navío… Una historia que comienza por el final, un circulo infinito a recorrer… en un pueblo llamado Esperanza….la Eternidad se estremece. Gervasio Navío. La Gran Evasión

This Week in Mal’s World, Mal Vincent previews “The Red Shoes” from 1948. It’s next week’s featured film for Mal’s Movies 2019 at the Naro Expanded Cinema in Norfolk. This very rare screening proves that “The Red Shoes” is one of the most beautiful color movies of all time, with great photography by the legendary Jack Cardiff. Starring the fiery red-headed ballerina, Moria Shearer, it is about obsessive love, as the heroine’s dance career clashes with her personal life. She, fatefully, is appearing in a ballet in which the red shoes have been cursed and she must dance until she dies. Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg headed an effort to restore the film to its original glory and, as a result, it was again premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, in 2009. Nominated for five Academy Awards, it won for its score and for its art direction, receiving other nominations for Best Picture, Script, and Editing. See this classic British drama Monday evening, August 5th, at 7:00 at the Naro Expanded Cinema. For more information, visit https://narocinema.com/mals-movies/

Writer / director Darren Aronofsky's Mother! is a horror film starring Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem. A young woman is single handedly restoring her husband's country home which has been destroyed by fire, when their seemingly tranquil life is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious couple played by Michelle Pfeiffer and Ed Harris. Booker prize winning Irish writer Roddy Doyle frequently returns in his novels to a childhood in the 1960s and 1970s on a housing estate in north Dublin. His new novel Smile returns to the trauma of school days when 54-year-old Victor Forde, separated from his television presenter wife, is confronted by memories of his experiences at the Christian Brothers school he attended as a child. Kathe Kollwitz was one of the leading artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, notable for the emotional power of her drawing, printmaking and later sculpture. Portrait of the Artist: Kathe Kollwitz at Birmingham's Ikon Gallery includes around forty works from the British Museum's remarkable print collection. Known for painting, printmaking and sculpture, her most famous art cycles, including The Weavers and The Peasant War, depict the effects of poverty, hunger, and war on the working class. Hampstead Theatre presents the world premiere of Terry Johnson's new play Prism, based on the extraordinary life of double Oscar-winning cinematic master Jack Cardiff. Cardiff is played by Olivier award winning actor Robert Lindsay and Prism also stars Claire Skinner. And a look the art of the opening title sequences with reference to a number of recent dramas as well as classic favourites. How much has the aesthetic of the opening title sequence changed and what is the future for the form? Image: Left to right: Javier Bardem and Jennifer Lawrence in mother!. Credit: Paramount Pictures.

Critics Alex Clark and Toby Lichtig deliver their verdicts and nominate their favourite to win. Actor Robert Lindsay talks to Kirsty about playing Jack Cardiff in Prism, a play about the cinematographer's life. Prism looks back at Cardiff's career which includes working on the film sets of The Red Shoes, The African Queen and Sons and Lovers.Presenter: Kirsty Lang Producer: Kate Bullivant.
In Episode 2, Chris and Rob take a look at low budget 1974 British-American sci-fi horror "freaksploitation" film THE MUTATIONS (aka THE FREAKMAKER). Is this the least enthusiastic Donald Pleasence performance ever? Is this really directed by Jack Cardiff - one of the best cinematographers of all time? Is this just a feature-length episode of Dr. Who with some boobs in it? Is it okay that Rob first saw this when he was 8 years old - with his mum? Is it... Still any good?
Edición nº 127 de La gran Evasión. El fastuoso desfile exalta el patriotismo en la gran Rusia de principios del siglo XIX, la joven Natasha observa las tropas marciales del imperio zarista y no se deja impresionar, ella quisiera ser uno más de esos hombres que pueden tomar decisiones y blandir la espada, o rendirla. El apocado Pedro Bezhukov no se ha alistado para la guerra que Napoleón siembra en Europa, su espíritu noble admira al comienzo al invasor corso y sus aires de ilustración, el terror del combate, la sangría de Borodinó le abrirá los ojos. El Conde Bezhukov se siente cansado de la vida mundana, de los fastos, quiere descubrir el verdadero sentido de la vida y para eso debe conocer el sufrimiento, el calvario. Pedro comparte con Natasha la pureza de espíritu, en esto sobresalen sobre la pléyade de personajes creados por León Tolstoi. King Vidor se aventuró en 1956 con esta obra universal, y contó con varias cartas ganadoras, la gran producción de Dino de Laurentiis y Carlo Ponti, Audrey Hepburn para dar vida a la joven princesa, Henry Fonda en el protagonista masculino, la partitura de Nino Rota, y las pictóricas tomas rodadas por el operador Jack Cardiff, el duelo entre Pierre y Dolokhov, las batallas, el último adiós al padre agonizante...A pesar de tanto baile, combate, y humanismo, no quedó redonda, le falta poso, personajes secundarios como Anatoly Kuraguin (Vittorio Gassman) o el campesino abatido por los franceses (John Mills) quedan algo desdibujados, y parecen pedir más desarrollo a gritos. Por fortuna, quedan para la eternidad Audrey y su vestido amarillo, Audrey bailando un vals ante los ojos de un Andrei Bolkonsky resucitado de amor, y los principios del idealista Conde Bezukhov, de ademán torpe y corazón puro. Raúl Gallego Esta noche defendemos la torre de Radiopolis sin recurrir a la táctica de la tierra quemada... José Miguel Moreno a la dirección, debaten Rodrigo Ruiz de Villegas, Gervi Navío y Raúl Gallego.

"What a time we had, Rosie. What a time we had." This week on Rash Pixel's "Movies We Like," we're finishing up our far-too-short series on cinematographer Jack Cardiff with the wonderful 1951 film, "The African Queen". John Huston co-wrote and directed it, choosing to shoot as much as he possibly could in Africa. While many said it couldn't be done -- shooting a story on location about two characters typically considered much too old for a love story -- John Huston proved them wrong. His choice of Jack Cardiff as cinematographer goes a long way in showing all of the reasons why shooting in Africa was right for the story, and his decision to cast Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn as Charlie Allnut and Rose Sayer allowed the story to be played authentically by actors who knew what they were doing and made it real. The film went on to earn buckets of money, critical praise, and award recognition. It's truly a film that has stood the test of time as well, and we -- Pete Wright and Andy Nelson -- have a great time talking about it. Join us as we talk about Jack Cardiff's role in making cinematography what it is today. We chat about the rough time everyone had on the production, not to mention the pre-production.

"What a time we had, Rosie. What a time we had." This week on Rash Pixel's "Movies We Like," we're finishing up our far-too-short series on cinematographer Jack Cardiff with the wonderful 1951 film, "The African Queen". John Huston co-wrote and directed it, choosing to shoot as much as he possibly could in Africa. While many said it couldn't be done -- shooting a story on location about two characters typically considered much too old for a love story -- John Huston proved them wrong. His choice of Jack Cardiff as cinematographer goes a long way in showing all of the reasons why shooting in Africa was right for the story, and his decision to cast Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn as Charlie Allnut and Rose Sayer allowed the story to be played authentically by actors who knew what they were doing and made it real. The film went on to earn buckets of money, critical praise, and award recognition.

"You cannot have it both ways. A dancer who relies upon the doubtful comforts of human love can never be a great dancer. Never." And thus sums up the battle within Michael Powell's and Emeric Pressburger's 1948 film, "The Red Shoes" -- the battle between love and art. Can the two exist together? Or will one always win out and destroy the other? It's a fascinating question posed in a beautiful and sumptuous film that we -- Pete Wright and Andy Nelson -- talk about this week on Rash Pixel's "Movies We Like." Join us as we talk about the movie and what it's come to mean in the world of film. We talk about the fans of this film, particularly Martin Scorsese, and how they came together to restore this film into the mindbogglingly gorgeous version we have today. We chat about the amazing performances led by Anton Walbrook as the dark and controlling ballet impresario and Moira Shearer as the prima ballerina torn between love and dance. We discuss the amazing look of the film, focusing primarily on Jack Cardiff's stunning 3-strip technicolor cinematography. We talk about the realism and how it turns almost magical after the ballet of the Red Shoes midway through the film leading us to the inevitable and heartbreaking conclusion. And we talk about the nature of Hans Christian Andersen's original fairy tale and how it enhances and defines this film. It's an amazing film to watch. Join us this week as we catch up on this classic!
