Look at the face.

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2004)

Look at her face. You can see it on the DVD cover.
Were you stunned, like me. Yes, the people living before 1928 had all the passion, the feelings and the beauty found in our present day society. Now brace yourself, because when Maria Falconetti animates that face in 'Joan of Ark' you'll wish she had continued on in at least one other film in her career. Her unadorned splendor in this film is unsurpassed by any other performance I have ever seen. The sparse geometries of the production set create a 'Picasso like' setting for this church sponsored judgment. Finally, the story is told within the realistic confines of Joan's trial, leaving her warrior past for a different movie script. I recommend this movie.
