I had made attempts to see this film for many years, but had continually missed it, and wasn't that sad about missing it, for it seemed like a dreary, black and white religious drama...
...And then the movie started.
First off, it's INSANELY VIBRANT! It's possibly the most colorful film I've ever seen, and some of the shots are breathtakingly beautiful (most notably early on in the film, when Deborah Kerr throws open the door and her light blue dress flows next to the light blue walls and light blue sky...it's captivating...
And, even here, there was still another surprise...once Sister Ruth falls in love with A MAN *gasp*, she decided to relinquish her vows, and GOES FUCKING APESHIT; All of a sudden, it turns into a near-horror movie, as the Technicolor brings out the vibrantly INSANE red bands under Sister Ruth's eyes as the score kicks into full-out madness strings, and it ends...pretty much like Vertigo ends...
AAAHHH!!!Awesome flick...
