Cinema Unbound: Black Narcissus 
A classic tale of sexual awakening from master filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (The Red Shoes), Black Narcissus tells the story of a group of nuns who encounter internal and external conflict when they open a convent in the Himalayas.
A group of nuns are sent into the Himalayas to set up a mission in what was once the harem's quarters of an ancient palace. While there they find their vows challenged, as Sister Clodagh (Deborah Kerr) has a spiritual crisis and Sister Ruth (Kathleen Byron) becomes erotically obsessed with a British agent.
Using superbly convincing, Oscar-winning studio backdrops, Black Narcissus is a beautiful and evocative film with a theme of eroticism that is still potent nearly 80 years later.
