Black Narcissus

Director Emeric Pressburger, Michael Latham Powell

Deep in the remote, thin air of the Himalayas, five nuns attempt to establish a mission within the walls of a mysterious, crumbling palace. Isolated from the world and surrounded by a hostile environment, their disciplined resolve begins to fracture. Repressed desires, haunting memories, and a descent into obsession take hold in this visually hypnotic masterpiece, which explores the fragile boundaries of the human mind through vivid Technicolor and palpable tension.
