Director: Carl Theodor Dreyer
Here is a deadly tiresome picture that merely makes an attempt to narrate without sound or dialog an allegedly written recorded trial in the 15th or 16th century of Joan of Arc for witchery, leading to her condemnation and burning at the stake.
One of the towering achievements of world cinema.
Dreyer's most universally acclaimed masterpiece remains one of the most staggeringly intense films ever made.
A work of formalist beauty and emotional power, with a luminous central performance from Falconetti.
Blazing in its intensity, and overwhelming in its poetry.

Falconetti burns (no pun intended) as the tortured young woman -- if only the rest of the movie could keep up with her and the cinematography.
Dreyer shows the power of close-ups to astonishing effect with Maria Falconetti's fantastic singular film acting performance.
I fell in to a burning ring of fire

Perhaps one of the most intricate and powerful achievements of the silent era.
One of the most inspired and inspiring films ever made.
The chief reason for its legendary reputation is the brilliant match between its timeless historical subject ... and Dreyer's decision to film it primarily in relentless close-ups.
This is one of the most memorable films ever made.

It's a harrowing film, claustrophobic in its use of close-ups that unblinkingly record Joan's emotional and mental state. Each frame becomes a canvas for Dreyer's unflinching portrait of suffering.
Sit down with an open heart and an open mind, and you'll be blown away. This is the reason they make movies.
