About this Event
The Passionate Friends (1949)
Join MovieJawn at Parkway Central Library for a presentation of The Passionate Friends
Description courtesy of Letterboxd:
A story of exquisite yearning in a strange and beautiful land. Towering over the screen … as the mountains that saw it happen.
A group of Anglican nuns, led by Sister Clodagh, are sent to a mountain in the Himalayas. The climate in the region is hostile and the nuns are housed in an odd old palace. They work to establish a school and a hospital, but slowly their focus shifts. Sister Ruth falls for a government worker, Mr. Dean, and begins to question her vow of celibacy. As Sister Ruth obsesses over Mr. Dean, Sister Clodagh becomes immersed in her own memories of love.
