Passion of Joan of Arc
"La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc" (The Passion of Joan of Arc)
dir. Carl Dreyer
Cinematography - Rudolph Mate
B+W silent 1928
HERE'S A GREAT STORY ! ! !:
"In a surprise discovery that parallels Joan’s resurrection (as a historical hero) and transcendence, a complete original print of Dreyer’s original cut was found in a Norwegian mental hospital closet in 1981. The print had apparently been ordered by a doctor there in the 1930s; after an unknown number of screenings, it was stuck in the closet and forgotten for perhaps five decades. " - from the DVD
