The original version of The Passion of Joan of Arc was lost in a fire!

Considered by many to be the last great classic of the international silent screen, The Passion of Joan of Arc is an unforgettable work of art. Danish director Carl Theodore Dreyer gives us a film with deliberate precision and masterful economy.

There are films that critics praise as being transcendental as a result of their austerity, but no other film is as deserving of such a claim.

The original version of the French film, was lost in a fire, the master negatives were found 53 years later in a Norwegian mental institute by a janitor in a closet.

The canisters were sent to the Norwegian Film Institute where they were first stored for three years until finally being examined.
