If you only see one 1920's silent foreign film this year...

Yeah. I know. I've said before that Netflix recommends some strange stuff for me right? Well this one was based upon the fact that I liked:

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Annie Hall
Taxi Driver

So... if you didn't like any of those.. move along, nothing to see here.

Anyone still here? Chops? Maybe? Lets proceed.
The version I got from netflix had the option to watch this set to an opera score - (Yes, I realize that my nerd is showing.)

So, set to music - it was pretty cool. The lighting was intense, and they really over act in silent films. Bravo!

Okay, if nothing else - see this for the sake of seeing a silent film. It was a good one. I've watched others, and this was good. Plus, the history of it is something to awe at. They used the actual trial transcripts - and this version was found in the closet of a Dutch mental hospital.

(say wha?) It's true.

Worth seeing just due to it's rather... fascinating origins. I've always loved Joan of Arc anyway.

..... anyone know where to find '20s films in Japan?

Hmmm, this rings a bell. I may have seen this but it was in film class. Either way I'd love to see it set to opera! Gotta love dvd's and their endless options. (Why couldn't they have given me more with Brain Candy?! WHY?!)
It's on the Q.
