A classic of the silent age, this film tells the story of the doomed but ultimately canonized 15th-century teenage warrior. On trial for claiming she'd spoken to God, Jeanne d'Arc is subjected to inhumane treatment and scare tactics at the hands of church court officials. Initially bullied into changing her story, Jeanne eventually opts for what she sees as the truth. Her punishment, a famously brutal execution, earns her perpetual martyrdom.

The film is very hard to watch, and it's supposed to be. But you will be rewarded with an amazing and heart wrenching finale.

It's insane that acting peaked in 1928. All been downhill since

One of the great films. Pure cinema. Incredible display of emotion. Film students, you need to see it to broaden your horizons.

I was skeptical, but this truly is the best silent movie ever made. Watch it to believe.

This is a silent film, but it doesn’t feel like one. It’s loud, oppressive, and dramatic. Far from boring.

Intense. Passionate. The story behind it is wonderful as well.

Amazing study of film composition and unadulterated human faces. The intertitles aren't needed to understand the movie at all. True classic.
