The Passion of Joan of Arc
La Passion de Jeanne d'ArcCarl Theodor DreyerCarl Dreyer's silent French film is as much an example of female strength today as it was 90 years ago. Based on the actual record of the trial of Joan of Arc, it explores the martyr as a Christlike figure whose strength, will, and determination endures even as she's led to a stake to be burned alive.
