The Passion Of Joan Of Arc. 1928.
In 1491 Jeanne D'Arc is on trial for heresy while the judges try and force her claims that she has seen holy visions.
What could have been a lost film before it was released, the entire film reel had been destroyed and the director used film footage he had rejected and we have this film. Another silent movie era and one to certainly enjoy, the cinematography is amazing with scene after scene perfectly shot, Maria Falconetti who plays Joan has the perfect face expressions as the film goes on with the pain of the character and as the film goes on you can see the sadness overwhelm her.
A great piece of cinematic history with Carl Theodor Dreyerat the helm and able to do something with a decent script that does hold your attention right from the start to the end with a great set piece of music in the background.
