The Passion of Joan of Arc
December 7th 2011 17:36
(1929) Renée Jeanne Falconetti, Eugène Silvain, André Berley, Maurice Schutz. Dir: Carl Theodor Dreyer.
Joan is put on trial by the French religious elders for her blasphemous beliefs. An intimate drama with minimal sets that’s fixated on faces. Tearful Falconetti is in middle, a picture of vulnerability, innocence, faith, maybe madness; a powerful performance in a film about faith that’s quite unlike anything else.
