The Passion of Joan of Arc

This is like the absolute banger of silent movies.
The level of excellence in the camera work/lighting/background music/editing/is unbelievable, especially having been produced 100 years ago!
Not to mention the several attempts to destroy it.
Definitely top 15 best performances.

This movie is amazing! The performance of Maria Falconetti is incredible! You feel how Joan of Arc suffered and feel trapped during her trial. Maria really was magnificent.
It’s more incredible when you know the story behind this movie (has been burned several times).
10/10✨

que filme incrível. o martírio de Joana em toda a sua força. a atriz captou a força, inocência e fé da personagem de uma maneira muito bonita e tocante. como a Paixão de Cristo, que ela emula, vê-se como o mártir não pertence àquele mundo. Quão pequenos são os algozes! Filmaço

an absolute classic title of the silent era, and possibly my favorite from the period as well. perfectly shot, edited, and acted; one-time legend renee falconetti delivers one of the greatest performances of all time. timeless
