The Passion of Joan of Arc

Not sure what to even say, but I beg anyone who hasn’t to make time to experience this film. I knew right from the first moments that I was in for something special, and even then it manage to surprise me with its beautiful dread.

Dreyer’s choice to focus on the human faces are what makes this film especially impactful. You go through every emotion alongside Joan thanks to both the framing of each shot, as well as the incredible acting from Maria Falconetti. Just a stunning film in every way.

I will say this is probably the best example of how timeless silent films can be too. I think so often people will have negative opinions on silent films just because of the nature of it, so to that I’d just recommend giving this a watch. At least I was left thinking about it for weeks after watching before I can manage to write up this little bit.

[anyawithay]

"male martyrs are almost always surrounded by nurses, their mothers, adoring angels and other loving disciples wrapping their crushed and holy bodies in strips of herb soaked cloth and weeping rapturously. female martyrs are almost always depicted having their skin flayed, breasts branded or ripped off with tongs or being stabbed and they are always, always alone save for her murderers. there is never anyone by their sides celebrating their spiritual life, only fiendishly reveling in their torture of her. it is perilous to be a "girl.""
