Movie Reviews of The Nun's Story
Movie Review: Nun's Story - Audrey Hepburn at her best.
Summary: 5 Stars
Audrey Hepburn's portrayal of Sister Luke in this 1950's classic is rivetting. Set in Belgium and South Africa just prior to WWII, the story of a gifted young women torn between her faith and family is the perfect vehicle to showcase Ms Hepburn at her dramatic best. Peter Finch turns in a sterling performance as Dr Moriatti, a brilliant surgeon working in the African Congo.
Summary of The Nun's Story
Story of Gabrielle Van Der Mal, who gives up everything to become a nun, facing incredible odds in the Congo and then at the mother house in France at the outbreak of World War II.Fred Zinnemann's epic drama is a splendid showcase for Audrey Hepburn, who stars as the young nun Sister Luke, who is deeply spiritual yet conflicted about whether or not she can conform to convent life. Though the film is a mesmerizing--and quite leisurely--two and a half hours, its plot is fairly simple--young Gabrielle (Hepburn) enters the convent pledging her life to God, learns the disciplines associated with the life, receives her dream assignment of going to the Congo as a missionary nurse, and once there, is forced to face whether she is meant for the rigorous life of poverty, chastity, and most difficult of all, obedience. The film does a marvelous job of portraying the challenges of cloistered life without being either off-putting or overly romantic. And Hepburn, sometimes with only her eyes, communicates all the drive, faith, and conflict of a young woman so torn. --Anne Hurley
