The TVI Take
Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1928 silent film about the trial and execution of Joan of Arc, anchored by Renée Jeanne Falconetti in her only major screen role. The structural commitment to letting close-up cinematography render the entire dramatic material (the film is largely composed of facial close-ups) is canonical silent-cinema discipline.
Widely cited as one of the medium's most-canonical single films.
