First of all, I love Black Narcissus. It is undoubtedly one of my favorite Criterion releases, especially with the Blu upgrade. However, I was a bit dissappointed in this commentary. I love hearing what Scorsese has to say usually in featurettes, etc and was very excited for input from Michael Powell, the brilliant director. Powell makes most of the contributions and what he does say is interesting for the most part. There are frequent gaps in the commentary though and a couple of times I actually forgot that I was listening to a commentary due to the long gaps of silence(probably more a testament to the brilliance of the film and it's ability to suck me in than anything). Don't get me wrong, it's definitely worth a spin for the insight that Powell brings to the table, I just can't agree with the consensus yet that this is a 9/10 commentary.
