    It is worth comparing with Bresson's version, which is also narrated based on the records of the Inquisition, but the difference in film concept and image construction method leads to a huge gap in emotional concentration, but in the end, it uses the power of film to show the power of faith. The levels are the same. Bresson restores objects to materials, transforms space into physical models, and substitutes actions into his own force analysis; while Dreyer treats all images as faces (not...

    Watching the 81 minute version. Since its inception, the film has been cut into many versions by different people. Its historical achievements are very prominent, mainly the use of close-up. A century has passed, with no strings attached, just from the point of view of enjoying the film, the works of contemporary Griffith, Keaton, Eisenstein, Lang and others still shine, compared to this film is inferior...

    A very superficial understanding is that a religious vindicator made a religious film with a close-up of the character's face as the main lens language. . . Guys who have no faith say they don't eat this set at all. . . But I wonder if this was an experimental film at the time. ....

    Off-topic: [A 15-year-old Parisian girl once said to Kieslowski that after watching "The Two Lives of Flowers", she now knows that the soul does exist. Director Kieslowski said, "It's worth it just to let a Parisian girl realize that the soul really exists!"] I want to say to Dreyer, "Joan of Arc" made me feel and believe in the existence of the soul...

    If cinema had a face, it would have to be the face of Maria Falconetti. La passion de Jeanne d'Arc is an iconic masterpiece that remains one of the most radically intense, poetically overwhelming, and profoundly spiritual films ever...

    As far as the movie itself is concerned, this is definitely a masterpiece. The interrogation process is presented in the form of a silent film, and the characters are interpreted by the actors' cheeks, nose, eyes, and eyes. The whole film is afraid that more than half of the time is shot in close-ups, with facial expressions. The details are infinitely magnified, and the technique is impressive. But this image of Joan of Arc is too far from...

    It’s all close-ups = = A kind of rhythmic image, you can’t take your eyes off for the first 30 minutes, but then you start to relax and distract = = The PS film was shot in 1927. I have to say that the emergence of sound technology is indeed a game for silent films. Disaster - the expressiveness and tension of the silent film was invincible at that...
