Joan Of Arc has been celebrated on film many times but only Dreyer and Bresson have portrayed her during her trial with such intensity and singularity. These screenings offer a rare opportunity to compare two films radically different in style, adapted from the same historical records of the trial of Joan Of Arc.
THE TRIAL OF JOAN OF ARC
Directed by Robert Bresson
1962 | France | 61 mins | B&W
In contrast to Dreyer's expressionist film, Robert Bresson’s depiction of Joan's relentless interrogation and persecution is minimal and restrained. As is typical of his style the film features a remarkable cast of non-professional actors (or "models", in Bresson's terms) whose performances are emotionally neutral.
