1928's greatest: the passion of joan of arc

there are very few haunting movies like this. shot mostly from the actors' shoulders-up against stark white backgrounds, it reflects the trial, torture, and execution of the famed french saint. the minimalism makes it madly chic and timeless. the subject matter makes it endless. even if silents aren't your thing, i feel anyone who values freedom should see this. although, you might want to blast your own soundtrack to lighten the mood.
