THE FILM
The Passion of Joan of Arc, directed by Carl Th. Dreyer in 1928, is
considered one of the best silent films ever made.
Rene Falconetti gives one of the greatest performances ever recorded on
film, as the young maiden who died for God and France.
The original version of the film was lost for decades, after a fire
destroyed the master negative.
Dreyer himself attempted to reassemble a version from out-takes and
surviving prints, but he died believing his original cut was lost
forever.
Almost miraculously, a virtually complete print of Dreyer's original
version was found in 1981.
THE SCORE
This new score reflects the film’s dramatic highs and lows – from the
emotional close-up photography of the trial
through to the fevered final scenes surrounding Joan’s death.
Total running time: 78 mins
