Black Narcissus

[Prepuce of Doom 21112]

Just finished watching this last night - I loved it. 

It defies description in many ways, but it's a pretty intense, slow burn character study about a small group of nuns who establish a convent in the Himalayas in the mid-1930s.

Hauntingly beautiful location and visuals, and an overall vibe of almost magical realism. 

It's probably not for everyone, but it's apparently based on a novel and a 1947 movie by the same name (I hadn't heard of either of them before). 

It's just a three part miniseries (each episode is about an hour or so) and originally aired on FX, so it's probably also on Hulu. 

Check it out if you need a change of pace from "Ouch, My Balls!" or "Singer in a Hat" or whatever...

I've been meaning to check this out. Wife and I almost started it last night. Watched a couple episodes of Gangs of London instead.
