Movie description
Danish filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer's dramatization of the trial and martyrdom of Joan of Arc remains one of the most striking and original films ever made. Shot entirely in close-ups and utilizing techniques years ahead of his contemporaries, Dreyer's deft cinematography and direction captures the intense emotional and spiritual turmoil of the young martyr--immortalized by the French actress Maria Falconetti in her sole screen performance. The original version, thought lost forever, was discovered in the janitor's closet of a Norwegian mental institution in 1981.

Credits
Writer:Carl-Theodor Dreyer
Producer:Jean Hugo
Cast:Louis Ravet, Maurice Schultz

Edition:Criterion Collection

Notes
Although Joseph Delteil's novel was the film's supposed source, and though he was credited as a co-scriptwriter, much of the film's dialogue was taken from the historical records of Joan of Arc's trial.

This was Falconetti's only screen role. She appeared on the stage in Paris.

The film was censored by the Catholic Church when it was released in France. In the years 1940-44, Nazi Germany also prohibited screening of the film in all of its occupied countries.

Produced by the Societe Generale des Films; distributed by M. J. Gourland.
