The Passion of Joan of Arc

1928Directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer1h 21m

La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc

An Immortal Screen Classic that will live Forever!

A classic of the silent age, this film tells the story of the doomed but ultimately canonized 15th-century teenage warrior. On trial for claiming she'd spoken to God, Jeanne d'Arc is subjected to inhumane treatment and scare tactics at the hands of church court officials. Initially bullied into changing her story, Jeanne eventually opts for what she sees as the truth. Her punishment, a famously brutal execution, earns her perpetual martyrdom.
