Summary
The Passion of Joan of Arc
is a silent film covering the trial and execution of St.
Joan of Arc, the unlikely hero that saved France, and the
unlikely saint that reconstituted a nation. The film
presents incredible performances from many actors,
especially the lead Maria Falconetti; it nobly and
worthily depicts this great shame of Christendom, this
great triumph of grace and faith, in a way that no film
has been able to since. Recovered against all odds from
a Danish collection in 1981, this film is a treasure for
all humanity, but especially for those who love Joan and
the Faith.
