Dreyer s film charts the final days of Joan of Arc as she undergoes the debasement that accompanies her trial for charges of heresy through her imprisonment and execution at the stake. The portrayal of Joan by Renée Maria Falconetti is frequently heralded as the all-time finest performance in the history of film, and Dreyer s unusual and virtuosic method, in seeming to render the very soul of his actress, vaulted the director decisively into the ranks of the art form s supreme geniuses. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present The Passion of Joan of Arc in an exclusively restored version, presented in both 20fps and 24fps playback speeds, and featuring Dreyer s own original Danish-language intertitles.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBLU RAY FEATURES:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExclusively restored high-definition master presented in the film s original aspect ratio, in 1080p\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePresented in both 20fps and 24fps playback speeds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptional audio tracks: a piano score performed by Japanese silent film composer Mie Yanashita (for the 20fps option), and a radical new accompaniment by esteemed American avant-garde musician Loren Connors (for the 24fps version)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNewly translated optional English subtitles for Dreyer s original Danish intertitles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe complete Lo Duca version of the film the version (featuring an alternate edit and soundtrack) that circulated in France and around the world for decades before the rediscovery of Dreyer s director s cut | Video demonstration of the restoration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReview\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"You cannot know the history of silent film unless you know the face of Renée Maria Falconetti. ...
