Black Narcissus (Criterion Collection)

Notable for its ravishing color cinematography and subtly powerful eroticism, this Michael Powell/Emeric Pressburger classic set in a remote Himalayan convent tells the striking story of Sister Clodagh's (Deborah Kerr) efforts to lead a group of nuns in bringing medical care and Christianity to the natives. A devastating triangle develops between Clodagh, a British expatriate (David Farrar), and the emotionally unstable Sister Ruth (Kathleen Byron). With Flora Robson, Jean Simmons. 101 min.
