YOU WILL FIND: Reactions and commentary on movies I have seen, including "spoiler" references (because otherwise it wouldn't be much more than "mm, ug, liked it" or "argh, didn't like it") YOU WILL NOT FIND: Detail by detail summaries (because it's not the present purpose of this blog) READ. COMMENT. ENJOY. THANKS FOR VISITING.

"Black Narcissus" (1947)
There's a phrase from the play "Our Town" that seems fitting to describe my experience in watching this movie: "I can't look hard enough." Not necessarily for the same reason as in the play, but a fitting phrase. Is a part of the time when the newness of color films was still something embraced with a zest through much of the film. Fascinating film in it's color and mood. Fascinating/Look hard film in it's story line. The film title and as it applied to the movie would be a study in itself. "I can't look hard enough." It's a film that needs a microscope.
