Thank you so much. And no I dont have it I wish I did but if you like I can help you look for it.
 
I bought it from a Catholic bookshop (in Australia) with English subtitles last December, so it’s definitely around on DVD.

It’s a beautiful film, much less saccharine than the 2004 version, but intense: there are a few scenes that make me flinch. You can probably guess which ones I mean, Brandee!

It was very moving, though. I watched it on Christmas Eve (all my male relatives suddenly disappeared into another room) and found afterward that the stillness and silence of the movie stayed with me for hours.

Here’s a review from the Decent Films Guide:

And one for the 2004 film:

Do you know “The Nun’s Story” by Kathryn Hulme, made into a movie with Audrey Hepburn? That’s another film with a many-layered view of the religious life.

It has been available on DVD (ID number: B00007KK1V) but has now been discontinued, although you might find it on ebay or elsewhere.

As a Carmelite I have a very high regard for the film; despite a few inventions it is nevertheless a very powerful illustration of both St Therese and life in a monastery. Catherine Mouchet’s performance as Therese is extraordinary in its simplicity. The Carmelite nuns I’ve spoken to regarding the film say that it is a very realistic portrayal of enclosed life within the order in the 19th century.

Hope you can locate a copy.
