Carl Dreyer/Danish Film Institute website

Inquiring minds may wonder who this Dreyer fellow was.

He was a Danish film director best known for making The Passion of Joan of Arc. Without doubt, Dreyer's 1928 silent movie is the best version of the Joan of Arc story on celluloid. Falconetti's Joan ranks among the silent era's great dramatic performances. If you have never seen this movie, by all means make time to see it.

I don't know anything about the Danish Film Institute or its website, but it is worth exploring.
