Description

The Passion of Joan of Arc (Gaumont, 1928). French Double Grande (63" X 93"). Many consider The Passion of Joan of Arc to be Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer's finest achievement. With documentary style authenticity, Dreyer recreates Joan of Arc's trial and execution with detailed accuracy, using breathtaking cinematography to convey every emotion. It is because of this rule-breaking cinematography, along with the superb acting, that the film retains its marvelous power today. Dreyer was also able to portray a different side to Joan's "passion," one that was just as erotic as it was spiritual. This poster had pinholes at the borders and minor edge wear. The fold lines had developed fold wear with separations and minor chipping. But thanks to professional restoration, the artwork by Rene Peron is all that the eye will behold. We cannot over-emphasize the rarity of this original country-of-origin poster. Very Fine- on Linen.
