Black Narcissus (1947 movie)

Redirected from Black Narcissus

Black Narcissus is a 1947 British film directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, about a group of Anglican nuns who travel to a remote location in the Himalayas to set up a school and hospital, only to find themselves increasingly distracted by the beauty of their surroundings. Tensions mount when one of the nuns develops a crush on the smug and disrespectful Englishman whom they use to communicate with the indigenous people. The film won an Academy Award for Best Cinematography.
