The Passion of Joan of Arc (Criterion Collection) (Blu-ray)

Based on the actual 1431 trial transcripts, the film co-stars Eugène Silvain, André Berley. 82 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Dolby DTS 5.1 Master Audio music score; alternate orchestral scores; audio commentary; featurettes; image gallery. Silent with music score.
