“Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s dreamy drama of repressed desire among a gaggle of Himalayan nuns hits a fever pitch of psychological intensity through its expressive use of color. W. Percy Day’s ravishing matte paintings bring us into a hidden corner of the world exploding with sensuous wonders, and the uncredited makeup team succinctly conveys the characters’ deteriorating mental states with pancaked-pale complexions and dark-ringed eyes.”
—Charles Bramesco, Author of Colors of Film.
