Plot outline: Nuns founding a convent in the Himalayas are tormented by the area's exotic beauty (IMDb).
The story (*** nuns, mountains, the London Symphony Orchestra, insanity, inexorable winds and the culmination of rain; plenty of ideas of all sorts being thrown around, and for such an original work it should be palatable to a broad spectrum of humanity in its many forms, vulgar and enlightened--if the terms actually mean anything in and of themselves, or encompass anything at all)
How the story unfolds (*** great shots one after the other, no matter whether they're on location or backdrops, or whatever-Powell and Pressburger bring out the beauty in whatever they happen to be looking at)
The characters (***)
The dialogue (***)
The acting (***)
Overall rating *** out of 4 stars
