ABOUT THE FILM: Bresson’s sparest and most inexorable film is taken entirely from the official transcripts of the trial of Joan of Arc – whom the director called “the most extraordinary person who ever lived” – and concentrates on her torment and humiliation. Dreyer’s THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC looks almost melodramatic next to TRIAL’s spartan gravity; the parched quality of Bresson’s rendering is indicated in its relative absence of water or fluids. 35mm courtesy of the Institut Français.
