It’s nearly the end of the road for this Road Movie Through Cinema – and, as always, it’s worth watching, as are all the movies TCM shows afterward. This week, among the best of them – of the ones I’ve seen, that is, since not a week has gone by when I haven’t been introduced to international films unknown to me – shows up at 6:15 a.m. ET tomorrow morning, with the telecast of Gillian Armstrong’s 1979 Australian drama, My Brilliant Career

MINISERIES PREMIERE: In 1947, Black Narcissus was an enigmatic movie starring Deborah Kerr as a young nun who joins a missionary convent in the Himalayas, with very surrealistic and psychological ramifications. In 2020, FX and the BBC combine for this new adaptation of the Rumer Godden novel. Gemma Arterton stars, and all three episodes of the miniseries are shown tonight in sequence.
