don't understand

(8/10) This crying face has long been included in film history. In the final moments of Joan of Arc's life, Dreyer uses a large number of facial close-ups, earthy and realistic performances, high-angle shots of characters, and wildly reduced backgrounds to focus emotions on people and emotions. Joan of Arc was tied to the stake, just like Jesus was nailed to the cross, to complete the redemption of the soul in a martyrdom-like way.

One of Dreyer's greatest works. The film was originally destroyed by fire, but after many twists and turns, a precious film was discovered, which was restored in 1986. The lighting of the whole film is full of artistic perfection and perfect modeling, just like a classical portrait oil painting, which vividly reflects the personality of the characters. Although silent films are not good at expressing dialogue, a large number of facial close-ups and montages undoubtedly show this trial perfectly.
