Black Narcissus (Previously Owned DVD)

Condition: Disc In Very Good Condition. Essay Insert Like New. 

Plagued by uncertainties and worldly desires, five Protestant missionary nuns, led by Deborah Kerr's Sister Clodagh, struggle to establish a school in the desolate Himalayas. All the elements of cinematic arts are perfectly fused in Powell and Pressburger's fascinating study of the age-old conflict between the spirit and the flesh, set against the grandeur of the snowcapped peaks of Kanchenjunga. Criterion is proud to present BLACK NARCISSUs in a new Special Edition.
