A beautiful, erotic film about devotion... and sexual frustration
An exceptionally stunning and highly erotic film about the foibles and fantasies of a group of Anglo-Catholic nuns in the Himalayas, doing battle against the cruel climate, the austere order of their lives - and the sexual frustration that lies beneath the surface. This film is one of a handful of genuine screen gems from the legendary British-Hungarian writer-director team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Based on the Rumer Godden best-selling novel, the film is beautifully photographed by Jack Cardiff, who won an Academy Award for his camerawork.
