Talk with Sascha Rothbart

UK 1961 | Director: Jack Clayton | 96 min.

A young governess devotes herself to the upbringing of two outwardly well-behaved orphans in a remote country house. She soon discovers the children's strange behavior and observes mysterious phenomena. She increasingly believes old stories according to which a former caretaker and a former guardian of the children have taken possession of the children as evil forces. An intelligent, subtly staged thriller that conjures up the nightmarish, morbid atmosphere of Henry James' original and masterfully balances a supernatural ghost story with the delusional world of an over-excited young woman. The performance of lead actress Deborah Kerr is outstanding. (filmdienst.de)
