Only No...The Nun's Story is my favorite movie. Only Now, Voyager comes close in how many times I have seen it. Audrey delivers what I consider to be one of the greatest performances ever captured on film, as so much of the character's conflict is internal. Her face, her eyes, her body convey so much without dialogue. When she does speak, with that exquisite boiuce of hers, she is transcendent. My favorite moment is when she is in the confessional, near the end of the movie, asking the priest to help her leave the convent by laying her case before the cardinal. "If you don't," she says, "I shall do something that would kill me. I shall leave without permission.". Right then the entire weight of what Sister Luke has been struggling with is brought to bear. The Nun's Story is a piece of art; one I might add that has stood the test of time, and has aged far better than the ultimate " best picture" Oscar winner that year, Ben Hur. Thanks for a chance to honor a truly great film!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553379265410073042noreply@blogger.com
