"La passion de Jeanne d'Arc (The Passion of Joan of Arc)" (1928)



-an absolutely revolutionary film; deeply moving

-i saw the film with no sound or music because it was not accompanied with any- for good reason. it was too emotional and music would have only been a distraction

-cinematography was some of the best EVER. some shots looked as if they were bouncing according to what the characters were saying; some were upside down shots and they way some shots utilized Maria Falconetti's (Joan of Arc) face was extrodinary

-moving performance from Falconetti; one of the first strong female performances
