black-narcissusJean Simmons stars as Kanchi, a dancing girl. “It is the most erotic film that I have ever made,” wrote Michael Powell of Black Narcissus. “It is all done by suggestion, but eroticism is in every frame and image, from the beginning to the end.” Despite the poor quality of this video, this essay – Kanchi: Sexuality in Black Narcissus – by Shalane Degruyter is well worth watching.
