- Director:
- Carl Theodor Dreyer
Spiritual rapture and institutional hypocrisy come to stark, vivid life in one of the most transcendent masterpieces of the silent era. Chronicling the trial of Joan of Arc (played by Renée Falconeth) in the hours leading up to her execution, director Carl Theodor Dreyer depicts her torment with startling immediacy, employing an array of techniques—expressionistic lighting, interconnected sets, painfully intimate close-ups—to immerse viewers in her subjective experience.
Silent with English-subtitled intertitles.
