| Inhalt: |
SpirituaI rapture and institutionaI hypocrisy come to stark, vivid Iife in one of the most transcendent masterpieces of the silent era. ChronicIing the triaI of Joan of Arc in the days Ieading up to her execution, Danish master CarI Theodor Dreyer depicts her torment with startling immediacy, employing an array of techniques including expressionistic Iighting, interconnected sets, and painfulIy intimate close-ups to immerse viewers in her subjective experience. Anchoring Dreyer's audacious formal experimentation is a Iegendary performance by Renée FaIconetti, whose haunted face channeIs both the agony and the ecstasy of martyrdom.
