The Passion of Joan of Arc Comments

    Passion is a wonderful wording, which means both "passion" and "pain" in French, which is in line with the image of Joan of Arc. Dreyer's shock through various close-ups—in my limited viewing capacity—is far more shocking than Bergman's Persona. When it comes to the degree of touching, there is still no one to beat...

    #North Film FestivalRewatch# Full of experimentation, she is the only actress in the history of film who has only acted in one film and has gone down in history. 03:55, depicting all beings in a close-up. 07:59, wide-angle pendulum shot, causing stress. At 08:08, the high position moved a vertical back. 10:38, why is lateral scheduling so effective here? Because three dimensions are presented in two dimensions. At 11:37, he moved his expression sideways, showing chattering. At 14:25, the...

    In Christianity, the feud between individuals and factions between churches and nations is a favorite, and I can only speak of disgust with them. The theologians and judges who tortured Joan of Arc were demons, and Joan of Arc herself was a patient. Like many Christian saints, there was a kind of ignorant innocence, thinking that she had obtained the apocalypse, but she was actually a patient of paranoia and fanaticism. The montage assembly method uses light as a knife, and the oblique...

    Leave blank composition, white horror. Changes in Joan of Arc close-up (looking up with big eyes - the lens becomes skewed - looking down, betrayal - up again), the drooping crown. Bishop pans the camera. Too sensational, but...

    96min version. Trial - torture - execution - martyrdom. Close-ups and montages create a visual and emotional impact, and the performance of the actress who plays Joan of Arc is too shocking, a soul-possessing...

    The works ahead of the aesthetics of silent films, the king's work with super close-ups, the use of translation mirrors, and the minimalist setting have a huge impact on later French films (mainly the works of Godard and Bresson), but none of this can be done. Oconneti's shocking face didn't work. Like Karina in "As You Like It", I turned off the soundtrack and watched the work. All the emotions and contradictions were written on that face, which was absolutely...

    I was crying, and I finally understood why Karina shed tears with Joan of Arc in "As You Like It". The final execution scene is magnificent and hopeful. Joan of Arc burned in the raging flames. Her bravery and loyalty turned into smoke to infect the people. They rose up... It's a great movie, 96 minutes of hard-to-breath experience, if you want to Knowing what a great performance is, this silent movie is the most powerful sound. The repaired version is extremely...

    Great work! ! ! From Dreyer's hand, even the word "great" is not enough to praise it completely. Each actor's portrayal is unique and impressive, pure and profound interpretation, screenwriter, actor, camera, everything. This is a great interpretation that only belongs to the silent film era! !...

    At the end of the silent film era, not only the development of documentary has crossed national boundaries, but also, due to the noble enterprising spirit of European filmmakers, various styles and genres influence and penetrate each other, such as: German scene scheduling , French photography skills and Soviet montage editing, etc., an international film culture is known to people and gradually grows up. This film is the master of this...

    9.6; destroyed space. The "velocity" of silent film here abandons the requirement of silent film narrative aesthetics, and restores the perceptibility of...
