Man, I still haven’t seen it. And my college library even has it. Next semester!
Easily one of my favourite films of all time now. It’s jumped up the list and comfortably into the top 10.
I just watched another Dreyer film at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. It was called Mikael and it was superb. It inspired me to rent Joan of Arc again which is sitting at my house as we speak. Thanks for educating the masses.

Hi Scott, thanks for stopping by.
I LOVE getting film recommendations, I will see if I can find a copy of Mikael. I was so impressed by Joan, that I would be very interested in see more of Dreyer’s work.
[...] 1. Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) - I just recently got to see this film. I walked out of the theater amazed at just how good it was. I have watched a fare share of silent film, but this stands out alone from the rest I have seen. [...]
