Tuesday, March 8th, 7:00 p.m., Greenlaw 101, UNC-CH.
The Medieval Studies Film Series presents The Passion of Joan of Arc.
This is a genuine cinematic masterpiece. Originally released in 1928, the negative was destroyed in a fire, and director Carl Dreyer died believing his film had been lost forever. A well-preserved copy was discovered in a closet in a Norwegian mental institution in the 1980s. It has been restored and has now been released on DVD. The film focuses on Joan's trial and martyrdom, and it achieves great power and intensity through its reliance on close-up; it's genuinely very beautiful and moving. The cast includes the French stage star Falconetti (as Joan) and Antonin Artaud (as a sympathetic monk). A beautiful new score by Richard Einhorn has been added, specially written for the film and incorporating the writings of female medieval mystics. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see this brilliant film on the big screen!
