How is the silent movie Joan of Arc?

Apparently it's superb, and also a film that Mark Kermode REALLY likes.

Thoughts?

I only ever saw the Milla Jovovich one and I got comments for saying I thought she was beautiful.

That was anti woke. Which is bad.

If you're talking The Passion of Joan of Arc, it's GOAT-tier.

Yeah I gotta give you some grief too, she looks like an amalgam of the Boy Meets World cast in that one.

The one from 1928? It's incredible. Almost hypnotic. I watched it years ago and went into it with the mindset "this will be a famous movie for its time that probably won't hold up as well today," and by the end I was entranced. Granted, it's a dialogue-driven "courtroom drama" about religious persecution, so it won't be everyone's cup of tea. But if you're into classic movies, it's basically a must-watch. (EDIT: I realize belatedly that "dialogue-driven" makes no sense for a silent film. By that description, I mean it's the sort of movie where people just sit around and talk to each other. No action.)

Please watch it within the next two days and check back in here with your review

I like masculine presenting tomboys . K Stew in that Hot Ones interview is everything.
