What is The Red Shoes/Black Narcissus about?

Double Feature: THE RED SHOES, 1948, MGM Repertory, 133 min. Dirs. Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger. A delirious, shimmering Technicolor dream of a movie starring Scottish dancer-turned-actress Moira Shearer (in her film debut) as an aspiring ballerina caught between the maniacal, domineering passion of impresario Anton Walbrook and the equally controlling love of composer Marius Goring. BLACK NARCISSUS, 1947, MGM Repertory, 99 min. Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s exquisite (and surprisingly erotic) drama of spiritual devotion and earthly temptation stars the luminous Deborah Kerr as a nun nearly overwhelmed by the physical beauty of her new Himalayan home - and the worldly charms of rugged David Farrar.
