The Passion of Joan of Arc
A classic of the silent age, this movie tells the story of the doomed yet eventually canonized 15th-century teen warrior. On trial for asserting she would certainly spoken to God, Jeanne d'Arc undergoes inhumane therapy as well as scare strategies through church court officials. Initially harassed right into altering her tale, Jeanne eventually chooses what she sees as the reality. Her penalty, a notoriously harsh execution, makes her perpetual affliction.
