PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC (1928)

A historical film was found in 1981 in a Norwegian mental institution after being lost for decades.  Now we can engross ourselves in a fantastic silent film experience about the inquiry of Joan of Arc.  The trial is revealed to be distorted with arrogant theologians and deceptive  judges that are motivated by their own beliefs and causes.  This is illustrated silently with brilliant cinematography, directing, editing, and acting, which leaves us with the amazing experience of Joan of Arc's conviction.
