A classic

Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of silent movies, except for those awesome comedies starring Charles Chaplin but since this movie is a huge classic, I was really eager to check it out. Well, it was quite mind-blowing and it really deserves its reputation as one of the best silent movies. Indeed, if nowadays, movies are dominated by huge blockbusters with some wall-to-wall CGI, well this movie is th... read more

A film of faces. A tapestry of close ups. A story told with minimalism and grace. Joan of Arc’s trial and execution is one of history’s worst instances of the power of government over the individual. It’s an important tale to tell, filmed by Dreyer with quiet compassion and intense intimacy.

Intimate intensity may seem like an oxymoron but, as this film proves, this is not alw... read more

A contender for THE movie of the 1920s

“As much as I did love Metropolis, The Gold Rush and Faust(1926), The Passion of Joan of Arc is a contender for the movie of the 1920s, that's how amazing it is. It is an incredibly well made film, it draws on artistic styles from the Renaissance through to the avant-garde and with all the symbolic angles, zooms, tilts and pan shoots the photography is spellbinding and captures the authentic costumes, sets and scenery wonderfully.The Passion of Joan of Arc is also a very haunting film, as what it does have is an atmosphere that is so genuine and unsettling. It is beautifully directed by Carl Th Dreyer, and the story based on trial records is highly compelling and genuinely dramatically intense in its action. Other than the atmosphere and visuals, what makes The Passion of Joan of Arc is the” read more

"First viewing - Apr. 11th Silent Sundays I spent most of the time watching this marveling at the quality of the images throughout the film. The Criterion transfer is impressive, so detailed that I could see the hairs in some characters' ears, and given how long ago this film was made I found it admirable. Beyond the visuals though I didn't care much about what was going on in this film. The way Joan of Arc was treated was awful of course, but not surprising really. I struggled to connect with h"

Hasta la creencia de que era una ezquizofrenica genio reprimida. Lo cierto es que la Santa es uno de esos personajes historicos que maraviilan, desde pequeño su historia me a causado gran fervor, y me he puesto a investigar sobre ella sin parar.

Algo me he dado cuenta es lo tergiversado que esta su historia y para resumir ire a desmentir de una buena vez.
