8.2 / 10

The sufferings of a martyr, Jeanne D'Arc (1412-1431). Jeanne appears in court where Cauchon questions her and d'Estivet spits on her. She predicts her rescue, is taken to her cell, and judges forge evidence against her. In her cell, priests interrogate her and judges deny her the Mass. Threatened first in a torture chamber and then offered communion if she will recant, she refuses. At a cemetery, in front of a crowd, a priest and supporters urge her to recant; she does, and Cauchon announces her sentence. In her cell, she explains her change of mind and receives communion. In the courtyard at Rouen castle, she burns at the stake; the soldiers turn on the protesting crowd.

Which score is featured in this clip? Is it the score from the Lo Duca version? It's definitely not the Lo Duca intertitles, so it seems unlikely. - @Thursday, November 16, 2017 10:31 PM

I film I love that my friends will not even bother to watch because it's old. This is a beautiful cinematic experience that shows how silent films still hold up today! - @Monday, August 27, 2012 3:19 PM

YES! Finally this film needs so much recognition. A film carved out of pure cinematic stone. - @Friday, April 22, 2011 6:58 PM

@DarkMatter1958 And black and white film has a clarity and power and a kind of chiaroscuro from the very beginning that our digital cameras are only today just beginning to rival in color. - @Friday, April 15, 2011 11:08 AM

@DarkMatter1958 I think that's always the way, isn't it?. The most advanced, sophisticated artists have been living in the same creative space for centuries. And it has taken centuries for the rest of us to catch up. - @Friday, April 15, 2011 11:06 AM

Highly recommended. Be sure to pick up the Criterion version if you want that great soundtrack of Anonymous 4/ Voices of Light. It's almost essential to the viewing. - @Thursday, April 14, 2011 4:45 PM
