La passion de Jeanne D'Arc in Den Haag

Carl Theodor Dreyer's silent masterpiece 'The Passion of Joan of Arc' chronicles the harrowing trial of the Maid of Orléans. Facing accusations for claiming to have spoken with God, Joan endures inhumane interrogations by church officials. Through hauntingly intimate close-ups, the film strips away artifice to reveal the raw soul behind the historical figure. Maria Falconetti delivers an iconic, visceral performance in this profound exploration of faith, resilience, and the tragic price of truth.
