The Passion of Joan of Arc

“An Immortal Screen Classic that will live Forever!”

Jeanne d'Arc (Maria Falconetti), a teenage warrior in the hands of the English, wants only to be believed when she says she has spoken with God. Church judges led by Bishop Pierre Cauchon (Eugène Silvain) press her with threats and false kindness, hoping she will take it back. Carl Theodor Dreyer builds the trial from the actual court record and stays close on the faces, letting each pore and tear fill the frame.
