The Passion of Joan of Arc
AroView: An intense recreation of Joan of Arc’s trial and sentence that qualifies as one of cinema’s most transcendental achievements.
Consisting mainly of closeup shots, the simple, roughly textured sets and costumes remove one from the normal expectations of a historical film and into a past alive with palpable emotion – the surges of feeling we see on Renee Maria Falconetti’s face communicate a spiritual and mental anguish that becomes incredibly moving by the finale.
