Title
Miss Jessel appears over the pond / The governess confronts Flora
Description
Film stills (55:11 / 1:18:19) from The Innocents (1961), directed by Jack Clayton. While the governess is initially frightened of Miss Jessel, this is complicated as the film continues. She becomes influenced by the ghost and the implications that its sexuality has had on the children. She takes on Miss Jessel's looming, dark form in confronting Flora, a mirror to the figure that originally appeared to her.
