Black Narcissus - Criterion Collection

This explosive work about the conflict between the spirit and the flesh is the epitome of the sensuous style of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. A group of nuns played by some of Britains finest actresses, including Deborah Kerr, Kathleen Byron, and Flora Robson struggle to establish a convent in the Himalayas, while isolation, extreme weather, altitude, and culture clashes all conspire to drive the well-intentioned missionaries mad. A darkly grand film that won Oscars for Alfred Junges art direction and Jack Cardiffs cinematography , Black Narcissus is one of the greatest achievements by two of cinemas true visionaries.
