La Passion De Jeanne D'arc ("The Passion of Joan of Arc") (1928)
Directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer, written by Joseph Delteil and Carl Theodor Dreyer

To witness Carl Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc is to glimpse the soul of a saint in her hour of trial. The film is more than a dramatization, more than a biopic, more than a documentary: It is a spiritual portrait, almost a mystical portrait, of a Christ-like soul sharing in the sufferings of Christ.
