Denmark, 1928: The premiere of Carl Theodor Dreyer's masterpiece, "The Passion of Joan of Arc". This silent film I see as a huge time-gallery of portraits with the strength of expression you can find on the portraits made by Hans Holbein the Younger, for example. One hundred and ten minutes of black and white paintings or photographs with an unsurpassed purity of style, make "The Passion of Joan of Arc" one of the most visually suggestive films ever made.
