Show Notes

Jackie and Greg wrap up their string of silent films with perhaps the greatest of them all: Carl Theodor Dreyer's earth-shattering masterpiece from 1928. Topics of discussion include the constant use of close-ups, the various scores for the film over the years, comparisons to Robert Bresson's THE TRIAL OF JOAN OF ARC (and his distaste of Dreyer's film), and how Renée Falconetti's iconic performance is perhaps the greatest to ever grace the silver screen.
