The Passion of Joan of 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.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.

    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.
