If you loved Das Wort, try Die Passion der Jungfrau von Orléans
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer, and they both carry the foreign gem, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Das Wort, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Die Passion der Jungfrau von Orléans is
Martyrs without martyrdom. Jeanne d'Arc faces an ecclesiastical court determined to break her spirit. The teen warrioress must choose between recanting her visions and certain death. Falconetti's haunted face embodies both fierce conviction and unbearable suffering.
