20190616@平atoms (siff): "The vast sea and the sky are always longer than the sun and the moon, and I stand upright in order to exchange freedom." The jumping back and forth in the narrow space is beautiful.

Bresson seems to have taken a different path with his back to Dreyer. The steady medium background, low-contrast tone, and the presentation of audio-visual elements (close-up of footsteps and noisy crowds) restore a space-time with a realistic depth, almost Like a court-trial documentary program or a video of a drama rehearsal, in his footage, the characters are always mechanical and indifferent (the expressions of the church personnel are dissolved in the rigid movements), and they respond to...

Strange sense of rhythm, miracles or rumors, illusions or beliefs, the Holy See on earth and the Holy See in heaven, the local hierarch and the pope, the used religion or the blessed sovereignty, the paranoid or the saint? Great interest in the act of martyrdom. Joan of Arc, the most famous martyr in history, the slandered witch, the most holy...

The first film with a full speed of 0.9; a stark contrast between aggressive judging and calm and calm answers. At the end, the drum beat like thunder, like accusation, like...

The necessity of Bressonian simplicity is that what he is trying to say is the unspeakable, that is, the super-nature that cannot be determined in images and words. But it is still necessary to speak, and there will be nothing without speaking, so we can only choose the most basic and most certain object to speak, and on top of that, we can imply an unspoken "surplus". We are so excited about Bresson's film that he "said" the...

Compared to the more famous "The Passion of Joan of Arc", Joan's moving tears are her divinity. And at the end of the film, the hurried and panicked footsteps before Joan of Arc was burned at the stake captures her humanity. The whole film is clean and tidy. With the death of Joan of Arc, there is only a piece of burnt dead wood...

"The Trial Record of Joan of Arc", the whole film is composed entirely of the court scene of Joan of Arc accepting the Inquisition and the torture scene of her generous death, without any extra background introduction and character profiles (even the crowd's voice is only used as background sound appears). The overall restoration of the real history is quite high: the Inquisition's trial of Joan of Arc mainly consisted of labeling her as a "religious heresy" that confuses the public. Through...

Religion and politics are cruel. People seek refuge in a state of collective unconsciousness, and those who go beyond this cognition are called heresies and become objects of...

Lots of dialogue, still Bresson's minimalist + prison movie. The church's trial of Joan of Arc is like Fang Zhouzi finding fault with Han Han... After reading @Ma Boyong's [Joan of Arc Biography] and then watching this film, the meaning has changed... The ending was handled very...
