"The Passion of Joan of Arc by TenEightyMan" "THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC" "A film by Carl Th." "Dreyer" "At the Bibliotheque de la Chambre des Deputes in Paris resides one of the most extraordinary documents in the history of the world:" "the record of the trial of" "Joan of Arc, the trial that ended in her death." "The questions of the judges and Joan's responses were recorded exactly." "Reading it, we discover the real Joan... not in armor, but simple and human... a young woman who died for her country... and we are witness to an amazing drama:" "a young, pious woman confronted by a group of orthodox theologians and powerful judges." "I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth... nothing but the truth..." "In France I'm called Joan... in my village, I'm called Jeannette." "How old are you?" "Nineteen..." "I think." "Do you know the Lord's Prayer?" "Who taught it to you?" "My mother." "Will you recite it?" "You claim to be sent by God?" "To save France... it's why I was born." "So you think God hates the English?" "I don't know if God loves or hates the English... but I do know that the English will all be chased from France... except those that die here!" "You have said that St. Michael appeared to you...in what form?" "Did he have wings?" "Did he wear a crown?" "How was he dressed?" "How did you know if it was a man or a woman?" "Was he naked?" "Do you think God was unable to clothe him?" "Did he have long hair?" "Why would he have cut it?" "Why do you wear men's clothing?" "If we give you women's clothing, would you wear it?" "When the mission that God has entrusted to me is over..." "I will again dress as a woman." "So it is God who orders you to dress as a man?" "And what reward do you expect from God?" "The salvation of my soul." "You blaspheme God." "This is disgraceful." "For me, she is a saint." "Has God made you promises?" "That has nothing to do with this trial." "Shouldn't we let the judges decide that?" "Shall we put this question to a vote?" "So!" "What has God promised you?" "Perhaps that you will be delivered from prison?" "When?" "I know neither the day... nor the hour." "Since she couldn't be made to confess easily... we will have to be clever..." "Go find a letter bearing the signature of King Charles." "I will dictate a letter." "I have great sympathy for you!" "Do you know the signature of your King?" "I have a letter from him for you." "I can't read." "To our beloved Joan..." "I am preparing to march on Rouen with a mighty army." "I send you this devoted priest." "Have confidence in him." "Just as Jesus is the son of God... you claim to be the daughter of God?" "Will you recite the Lord's Prayer?" "God has told you that you shall be delivered from prison?" "By a great victory!" "God has promised you that you will go to Heaven?" "So you are certain of being saved?" "Be careful, it's a dangerous answer." "Since you are sure of your salvation... you have no need of the Church?" "Are you in a state of grace?" "Respond!" "Are you in a state of grace?" "If I am, may God keep me there." "If I am not, may God grant it to me!" "Father... permit me to attend Mass." "Joan, if we permit you to attend Mass... will you stop wearing men's clothes?" "So, you would rather dress as a man than attend Mass?" "These shameless clothes... abominable to God..." "You are no daughter of God..." "You are Satan's creature!" "Go prepare the torture chamber." "She really looks like a daughter of God, eh?" "The torture chamber." "Regard your judges." "Do you not feel that these learned doctors are wiser than you?" "But God is even wiser!" "Listen, Joan, we know that your visions do not come from God... but from the devil." "How do you know a good angel from an evil angel?" "You have knelt before Satan, not St. Michael!" "Don't you see that it's the Devil who has turned your head... who has tricked you... and betrayed you?" "I think she's ready to abjure!" "The Church opens its arms to you... but if you reject it, the Church will abandon you... and you will be alone... alone!" "Yes, alone... alone, with God!" "Even if you part my soul from my body..." "I will confess nothing..." "And if I do confess, later I will say it was forced from me!" "Not for anything in the world do I want her to die a natural death." "She is very weak." "She has a fever..." "we must bleed her." "Be careful, she could end her own life... she's very crafty." "Bring the Sacraments." "Is there something you wish to tell us?" "I fear that I am about to die... and if I do, I ask you to bury me in sacred ground." "The Church is merciful..." "It always welcomes the misguided lamb." "Joan, we all want what's best for you." "Look, I have sent for the Sacraments." "I am a good Christian." "Do you not know it is the Body of Christ you refuse?" "Do you not see that you outrage God by your obstinacy?" "I love and honor God..." "with all my heart." "You claim...that I am..." "sent by the devil." "It's not true... to make me suffer, the devil has sent you... and you... and you... and you..." "There is nothing left to be done... alert the executioner!" "Let us try one last time to save this lost soul..." "It is to you, Joan, that I speak." "It is to you that I say your King is a heretic!" "My King is the most noble Christian of all." "The arrogance of this woman is insane." "France has never seen such a monster..." "I have never wronged anyone." "If you do not sign, you will be burned alive..." "The stake awaits you..." "You don't have the right to die." "Your King still needs you." "Joan, sign..." "and save your life!" "Joan, we have great sympathy for you." "Sign, Joan!" "In the name of the Lord." "Amen." "Having recognized your errors, you shall not be excommunicated." "But as you have greatly sinned, we condemn you... to perpetual imprisonment, to eat the bread of sorrow and drink the water of anguish." "A good day's work:" "you have saved your life and your soul." "She has only made fools of you!" "Long live Joan!" "Go find the judges!" "I take it back, I have lied..." "Hurry!" "I have committed a great sin..." "I have denied God..." "to save my life." "But Joan, you have confessed before everyone that the devil misled you." "You still believe you were sent by God?" "Her answer will bring her death." "Everything I said was for fear of the stake." "Have you anything else to tell us?" "We have come to prepare you for death." "Now...already?" "How am I to die?" "At the stake." "I'll bring the last Sacrament." "How can you still believe that you are sent by God?" "His ways are not our ways." "Yes, I am His child." "And the great victory?" "...my martyrdom!" "...and your deliverance?" "...death!" "Will you take confession?" "May the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ keep my soul... unto life everlasting." "Amen." "Be courageous, Joan." "Your last hour approaches." "Dear God, I accept my death gladly... but do not let me suffer too long." "Will I be with You tonight in Paradise?" "Jesus!" "You have burned a saint!" "The flames sheltered Joan's soul... as it rose to heaven " "Joan whose heart has become the heart of France..." "Joan, whose memory will always be cherished... by the people of France."
