Passion of Joan of Arc, The

About the movie

It’s late spring in 1431, and Joan of Arc is captured to stand trial for heresy by the French clerical court. The judges try in every way to shake her belief that she’s doing God’s work, but to no success. Not even the threatening torture chamber will bring her to giving up her fight.
The Passion of Joan of Arc is arguably the magnum opus of Carl Theodor Dreyer, the Danish director who was to become one of the most influential in film history. Following its major critical success, The Passion of Joan of Arc has ever since consistently been considered one of the greatest films ever made.
