171. Black Narcissus (1947) & The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943)
This week, we discuss two classic British films from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.
The first is Black Narcissus (1947), which explores the psychological unraveling of nuns in a remote Himalayan convent as desire and isolation take hold.
The second is The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943), which traces the life of a British officer through love, war and friendship, challenging ideas of honour and aging.
