Amazing film

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2004)

The Passion de Jeanne d'Arc is one of the most amazing films I have ever seen. Recently re-released on video with a new score by Richard Einhorn (this score is a separate work of music, entitled "Voices of Light"), this movie is one of the most powerful films ever created. Falconetti gives a stunning performance as Jeanne, displaying both human emotion and saintly fortitude. Jeanne cries throughout her intense trials, but maintains her convictions and answers her critics with wisdom and humility. Falconetti captures the strength of Jeanne, while sacrificing none of her femininity nor any of her pain and sorrow. Truly a masterful performance.
