Amazon.com essential video:
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

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.

This movie is about a nun who tries very hard to make her vocation work. She was a better Religious than many of the so-called "living Rules" around her because she did more soul-searching. The story is a tragedy insofar as she was never able to reconcile her inability to be perfect with the many graces she was receiving by simply being, a lesson every Religious must learn in order to persevere.
It is really about all of us, our struggle to make sense of life. Sometimes we impose ... Read More

Audrey Hepburn is best known for playing the leading lady in romantic-comedies, but this movie is one of the few that she made that is full drama.
Normally, I would tell you the summary and plot of the movie, but I'm sure there are tons of reviewers who give a very detailed look into the movie. So instead of that, I'm here to say that if you're ready for a different side of Audrey as an actress, PLEASE buy, rent, borrow, do ANYTHING to see this movie, because this really shows Audrey's ...

There are few films that can say so much with so little; but `The Nun's Story' does just that. In a simple and none-to-evasive premise the film tackles the weighty subject of faith and all its variables but never feels heavy handed or overly stuffed. In fact, despite its two-hour-plus running time, the film has a very breezy feel to it; relaxed and nicely paced and totally engaging.
The film tells the story of young Gabrielle van der Mal who desires to become a nursing nun in the Congo. ... Read More
