The Passion of Joan of Arc
An Immortal Screen Classic that will live Forever!
The Story
Carl Theodor Dreyer recreates the trial of Joan of Arc in a film of searing, unforgettable close-ups.
Captured during the Hundred Years' War, Joan faces a hostile clerical court that uses interrogation, trickery, and the threat of the stake to try to break her faith. Renee Falconetti's luminous, anguished performance, drawn from the surviving records of the real trial, ranks among the greatest ever committed to film. A silent masterpiece of overwhelming emotional power.
