BLACK NARCISSUS
"A story of exquisite yearning in a strange and beautiful land. Towering over the screen ... as the mountains that saw it happen."
Directed by Emeric Pressburger
A group of Anglican nuns, led by Sister Clodagh, are sent to a mountain in the Himalayas. The climate in the region is hostile and the nuns are housed in an odd old palace. They work to establish a school and a hospital, but slowly their focus shifts.
