Black Narcissus

Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger / United Kingdom 1946 / 100 min. / DCP
Black Narcissus
A group of Anglo-Catholic sisters start a school and hospital in an old Indian palace, but the exotic setting undermines their faith. This double Oscar winner in glowing Technicolor about suppressed passions proves that the ways of Archers’ films are as inscrutable as the God’s ones.
