The Passion of Joan of Arc in concert
Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo conducted by Frank Strobel - Salle Garnier – Opéra de Monte-Carlo
Program Info: This silent film by Carl T. Dreyer recounts the trial of Joan of Arc, from her arrest until her death at the stake.
“The brilliant idea of the author is to have conceived his drama from the major handicap of his means of expression, silent cinema, and to have deliberately wanted to film the word in action by images alone. For this Dreyer did not seek to transpose the verbal exchanges between Jeanne and her judges by means of skilful subterfuge. On the contrary, he condenses the text admirably and punctuates his film on an alternation between shots of faces, mouths, looks, gestures, facial expressions, and brief visual inter-titles that the spectator reads a few seconds after the words have been uttered. by the character. The result is a listening experience of unparalleled intensity, as if the dialogue between the characters arose from within the viewer. »
