"Now heralded as a masterpiece, Black Narcissus is a landmark film in Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's influential canon, and remains a highlight of British and indeed of world cinema. Enigmatic and deeply memorable, the film, starring Deborah Kerr and based on Rumer Godden's best-selling novel about the emotional dissolution of nuns in the Himalayas, has left behind enduring images of both place and gender. This book - the first dedicated exclusively to Powell and Pressburger's 1947 film - draws on archival documents as well as original set drawings and stills to demonstrate its remarkable achievements, both as a production and as a complex meditation on the end of empire. Black Narcissus is a masterly technical achievement, with its numerous innovations including cinematographer Jack Cardiff's experiments in Technicolor and the ambitious recreation of the Himalayan landscape in Sussex and at Pinewood studios, and Street here discusses the creative input of all the production team. She assesses Black Narcissus' nuanced representations of East-West relations and of the volatile political situation in India at the time, and reviews its controversial reception by international critics and censors. Looking finally at its subsequent impact on experimental filmmakers, Street explores issues of style, performance and interpretation to reveal the continued relevance of Black Narcissus today."--Jacket.

This open access book examines how Pinewood came to be Britain’s dominant film studio complex, focusing on key years following the Second World War. It presents a revisionist, micro history organized around key themes that are crucial to understanding the studios’ longevity during a particularly turbulent period. Pinewood’s survival at a time when other major film studios such as Denham closed, is explained. The book examines contemporary insights into how Pinewood’s technologies and practices compared to Hollywood’s when filmmaking methods were being scrutinized. Thirteen films produced in 1946-7 are analysed in detail, tracking how economic pressures engendered many creative techniques and innovative technologies. Prevailing cultures of management and labour organization are foregrounded, as well as insights into being a studio employee. These are vividly brought to life through an in-depth focus on the in-house studio magazine the Pinewood Merry-Go Round which provides rare details of sports and leisure activities organized at the studios. Sarah Street is Professor of Film at the University of Bristol. Publications include British National Cinema (1997), Transatlantic Crossings: British Feature Films in the USA (2002), Colour Films in Britain: The Negotiation of Innovation, 1900-55 (2012), Chromatic Modernity: Color, Cinema, and Media of the 1920s (2019, with Joshua Yumibe), and The Eastmancolor Revolution (2021, with Keith M. Johnston, Paul Frith and Carolyn Rickards).

A Cultural History of Color presents a history of 5000 years of color in western culture. The first systematic and comprehensive history, the work examines how color has been perceived, developed, produced and traded, and how it has been used in all aspects of performance - from the political to the religious to the artistic - and how it shapes all we see, from food and nature to interiors and architecture, to objects and art, to fashion and adornment, to the color of the naked human body, and to the way our minds work and our languages are created. --
