Screenings

Powell and Pressburger’s passionate Technicolor melodrama stars Jennifer Jones as the free-spirited Hazel, who refuses to be bound either by her clergyman husband or the predatory squire who pursues her. The untamed Shropshire landscape is at one with Hazel’s primal spirit, making this one of the filmmakers’ most rhapsodic odes to the English countryside and among their most intoxicatingly sensual achievements.
