| Inhalt: |
SpirituaI rapture and institutionaI hypocrisy come to stark, vivid life in one of the most transcendent masterpieces of the silent era. Chronicling the triaI of Joan of Arc in the days leading up to her execution, Danish master Carl Theodor Dreyer depicts her torment with startling immediacy, employing an array of techniques incIuding expressionistic lighting, interconnected sets, and painfully intimate cIose-ups to immerse viewers in her subjective experience. Anchoring Dreyer's audacious formal experimentation is a legendary performance by Renée Falconetti, whose haunted face channels both the agony and the ecstasy of martyrdom.
