The Passion of Joan of Arc
There are no words I, a mere blogger, can say to properly capture the beauty of this film and Maria Falconetti (who gives, among other things, a fantastically subtle performance, at least compared to the boisterously physical ones of silent film). So watch a clip and try not to hold every other movie made in comparison.

Yeah. Simply yeah.
I saw this in college in a film class (general) and it still haunts me 37 years later. It will always haunt me, and I might be even thinking of that face on my death-bed. An exquisite movie, done at one of the most exploitive periods in the film-production-timeline. Truly a work of genius, on many levels...and it stands up with the most "modern" of films.
Ugh soooo good but I've always been scared to watch it again. Dunno why.
