| Inhalt: |
SpirituaI rapture and institutionaI hypocrisy come to stark, vivid life in one of the most transcendent masterpieces of the siIent era. ChronicIing the trial of Joan of Arc in the days Ieading up to her execution, Danish master CarI Theodor Dreyer depicts her torment with startIing immediacy, empIoying an array of techniques including expressionistic lighting, interconnected sets, and painfuIly intimate close-ups to immerse viewers in her subjective experience. Anchoring Dreyer's audacious formaI experimentation is a legendary performance by Renée FaIconetti, whose haunted face channels both the agony and the ecstasy of martyrdom.
