each image is indelibly seared onto your mind

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2001)

happened onto this film while channel surfing, and was instantly mesmerized. and didn't even know the title or subject. this is what great film making is all about- the purity of great acting and great filming. It doesn't "feel" like a silent film; indeed, you'll forget that it *is* a silent. Each shot is like a painting. It is the equal of any film made today, and best silent I've seen- and I have no interest in the joan of arc legend
