| THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC / Le Passion de Jeanne D’Arc (1928) Dir: Carl Th. Dreyer Dreyer’s 1928 masterpiece about the trial and death of France’s 15th-century warrior-maiden. The film’s extensive use of close-ups is among the most harrowing, claustrophobic ever. Star Rene Falconetti’s face, with its uncanny glowing eyes and mournful looks, proved an ideal map for the emotional territory the director wanted to explore. Her performance has rightly been called one of cinema’s greatest. Presented with a new musical score by Danish composer, Jesper Kyd . 110 min. |
