Black Narcissus

Film Synopsis

Black Narcissus (1947) follows a small order of British nuns sent to convert a former harem perched high in the Himalayas, where thin air and cultural dislocation test their vows. As suppressed memories, jealousy, and longing surface within the cloistered community, the convent’s fragile order begins to fracture under emotional strain. This psychological drama blends exotic atmosphere and repressed passion in a haunting study of faith and obsession.
