Funny. we are supposed to think Falconetti (as Joan) lead the armies of France against the enemy in the Hundred Years War.

This film is, of course, Godard's "One Life to Live." It incorporates Dreyer's "The Passion of Joan of Arc," in this scene where Anna Karina's character goes to the cinema to see Dreyer's film. It's a very moving moment. It's great to see two of my all-time favorite films in the same film at the same time. Also, it becomes obvious that there is no more powerful way to communicate great emotion in film than a close-up of a human face, especially in the hands of a master like Godard or Dreyer.

I just whizzed my shit from laughing!!! Pretty funny clip!!! I think Antonin Artaud was an underrated comedic talent comparable to Gallagher yall!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone know whether Joan lives or not?

Intensa profonda interpretazione

Incarnation. Merci!

[vogelmandrie]

This is a historical moment in cinema

Artaud is fabuleuse ( and Falconetti too)

[DJMethods]

This scene is actually from Godard's 'My Life to Live'. From about 0:20 - 2:30 it's The Passion and the rest is Anna Karina in My Life. judging by the tags the poster new this and gave credit to those who would have seen either of the films, but it just caught my eye is all ^^

The French Don't bathe very often, that's why they had to burn corpses very often, since burying them could lead to plague and pestilence. The Moral of this story is, bathe frquently and bathe often, unless you wish to smell like moldy cheese on a sultry day! Remember Putrifaction brings No Satisfaction...

Artaud est un ange qui s'est fait cassé la gueule

Je n'aurai pas trouvé mieux comme image pour ce Paria supplicié!

Netflix also has this film. A modern soundtrack, called "Voices of Light," can be turned on or off during the viewing. It's really lovely, and adds well to the film. All things said, Falconetti's performance is of historically proportions! Fantastic studies of medieval paintings and statuary.

Artaud possède un immense magnétisme. Hommage.

Criterion released it on DVD with a splendid new orchestral track. It is outstanding!

Oddly, I found it at BLOCKBUSTER in N.C. while visiting my mom. I was mesmerized and watched it three or four times.

Way ahead of its time...released in 1927, then believed to have been destroyed in a fire, gone forever...then a copy was found in the broom closet of a Scandinavian mental hospital within the last fifteen years or so.

Falconetti was a Parisian comedienne 'discovered' at a night club. This is considered to be one of the best screen performances ever - her first and last.

why so hard to find this good film?
