"A few weeks back, listener DJP requested a show on spirituality, which coincides nicely with the Film + Faith blog-a-thon kicking off this week. As we thought about it, the spiritual is so broad and pervasive in movies it’s hard to know where to start. Somehow, Kevin and I sojourn on The Dareeling Limited, Children of Men and A Woman Under the Influence. Karina investigates the “curse” surrounding one of the most spiritual characters in moviedom, Joan of Arc. (Subscribe to FilmCouch in the iTunes store and an episode will download each Friday.) Clockwise from top left: Jean Seberg Saint Joan (1957), Ingrid Bergman Joan of Arc (1948), Ren??e Maria Falconetti

"Finally, after years and years of ordeals, Carl Th. Dreyer's masterpiece can finally by viewed in awe by a new generation! Like the title states this movie weaves the tale of the legendary Joan of Arc; however we see her "not in armor, but simple and human." She is stripped away bit by bit until we see the real Joan of Arc, facing harsh judges on her trial that will lead to her her burning at the stake- all of it recorded in a book Dreyer used for the film. Joan, played by the powerful Renee Falconetti ( who, strangely, never made another film) is shown throughout this film as many things: brave, fearful, saintly, clever, and tragic. That is all thanks to the movie's intense, famous close ups that capture every detail: saliva flying fiercely out of a judge's mouth, Joan crying in utter despair, a deceitful judge ominously blocking the shadow of a cross, and even Joan's pain and agony as she burns on the stake and the riot it causes.
