	The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)
		Falconetti, who gives arguably the most famous and celebrated performance in silent and international film, cannot truly be described here.
		Upon the subsequent viewings, it became clear that hers is one of the purest pieces of acting ever put on celluloid, because her performance gives itself completely to what the film is about and what Joan of Arc stands for today; her face expresses religious struggle and conviction in every crevice.
		Falconetti is emotionally naked and is Dreyer’s vision of Joan of Arc.

		Falconetti has become something of a legend in movie lore: though the Internet Movie Database credits her with a 1917 movie called La Comtesse de Somerive, she never made another film after The Passion of Joan of Arc.
		Falconetti’s face is not especially a pretty one but her flat, chapped lips and saucer-sized eyes take us directly beneath the martyr’s skin.
		Throughout her close-ups, Falconetti’s demeanor is like that of a deer startled by headlights on a dark country road.

		Her physical eloquence is exquisite, a raw, naked window into not only the final hours of a hero's life, but also of the journey of self-discovery that Falconetti must have gone through during the arduous, 18-month shoot.
		Falconetti is marched past the crowd of onlookers.
		As her body begins to burn (a cinematic sacrifice that is very obviously Christ-like, even though it is also historically factual), Joan realizes that her choice, the hardest anyone could be expected to make for himself or herself, has been the right one.

		Lead actress Renee Falconetti (imdb database has her listed as Maria Falconetti) is flawless in her role as Joan of Arc, and it's simply a pity that her nature kept her away from acting.
		Falconetti would become immortal (though she would never make another film, the ambitious theater company she started would become a financial failure and she would die in Rio Di Janero in 1946).
		Falconetti, who wore no make-up, and was filmed in sometimes unflinching close-ups and would become one of the most famous faces, one of the most praised actresses of all time, for one film.

		Shooting his film entirely in close-up, Dreyer provides an intimate study of one woman’s unshakeable faith under the most terrible pressures imaginable, and the main reason it works so well is the stunning work of Maria Falconetti whose performance simply has to be seen to be believed.
		Falconneti’s face is filled with anguish, confusion, fear as she is interrogated, tortured and humiliated by her captors.
		This timeless masterpiece is a stunning achievement, a remarkably intimate study of faith which is shot with such an eye-burning intensity that it will leave you gasping for air.

		The mesmerizing performance of Maria (Renýe) Falconetti, filmed primarily as a series of brutalizing close-ups, is still the main reason to revisit Carl Theodor Dreyer's austere and claustrophobic 1928 silent film classic about the trial and execution of Joan of Arc.
		There is little provided in the way of background or context, as Dreyer made an intentional decision to use the original trial records as the basis of his dialogue.
		Falconetti was 35 when she played the 19-year old peasant girl, but she is entirely convincing using her large eyes and facial plains to build her character's spirit as it dwindles under the pressure of the French clergymen who rule her fate.

		Holding it all together is RenÃ©e Falconetti, in one of the great performances in film history.
		Her mournful eyes wide with rapture, Falconetti seems under a spell, as is the viewer by her.
		The director's use of huge, probing closeups--detailing every pockmark and even the saliva at the sides of the mouths--adds a shocking immediacy which makes it hard to believe that this film is nearly seventy years old.

		It is one of those amazing silent film performances that actually benefits form the lack of words — no words could ever be as eloquent as Falconetti’s haunted, unforgettable eyes.
		And don’t think because this is a silent film that you should expect an overwrought, corny performance; Falconetti’s acting stands with anyone’s from the sound era and surpasses most.

		This spiritually impassioned masterpiece, with an unforgettable lead performance by Maria Falconetti, is also one of the most watched silent films of all time.

		The key to the film’s sense of authenticity, though, is the haunting face of Maria Falconetti, whose transcendent evocation of the Maid of Orleans has been called the greatest performance ever filmed.
		It is a haunting face because it is a haunted face: a face overshadowed by visions, by fear, by death.
		Reportedly, her passion is not entirely simulated: Dreyer is said to have been pitiless in getting the nuances of emotion he wanted, and would make Falconetti kneel for extended periods on hard stone in an effort to get just the right expression of inner suffering.

		The transfer is superb, made all the more so by the option of playing the film with Richard Einhorn's superb 'Voices of Light' score.
		A few seconds apart, the close up of expressions and the range of emotions communicated by Rene Falconetti were expressed with sincerity, total believability, and heart wrenching affectation.
		As the intensity builds it is difficult not to be deeply moved by her vulnerability.

		It was a silent flick, from 1928, and I was astonished by the performance of the lead actress, Renee Maria Falconetti.
		If the power of Streep and Falconetti’s performances lie in the face, then the strength of Hepburn’s portrayal of Eleanor of Aquitaine resides in every muscle in her slight frame.
		But, like Falconetti, she proved that stellar acting does not require a lengthy resume or a well-known name.

		Somehow it manages to be about faith and spiritual strength, difficult enough in a sound film, astounding in a silent.
		Watching Falconetti in the early scenes, as she tries to answer the questions without uttering heresy, you can see panic give way to inspiration, then to steely confidence, all reflected in her eyes.
		Though the music on this disc is very good, I recommend watching the movie silent, as the rhythms of the editing are so powerful in and of themselves.
