1929135596N.p.: N.p. 1929. Vintage double weight photograph from the French release 1930 film. With the logo of the French production company Films Sonores Tobis at the bottom left corner of the image. Shot by the film's cinematographer Georges Perinal. <br /> <br /> Shown are Pola Illery and Gaston Modot in an intimate moment shot at night from outside a horizontal folding window. A stunning image capturing the essence of the film's story and literally that of Clair's entire aesthetic in the 1920s and 1930s: small intimate stories of France's lower and middle class in a struggle to love and simply survive-often shot through windows and doors as seen here. <br /> <br /> Georges Perinal was one of the great cinematographers in early French and European cinema working with every major director of that time and in particular with Clair. In addition to shooting all of Clair's major films in the 1930s he also photographed Cocteau's "Blood of a Poet" 1932 William Cameron Menzies' "Things to Come" 1936 Michael Powell's "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" 1943 and Carol Reed's "The Fallen Idol" 1948. <br /> <br /> 9 x 6.5 inches. In an archival mat. Four tiny pinholes at the corners press annotations in pencil and a shallow horizontal bruise from an old non-archival mounting on the verso else quite bright. Very Good Near Fine. <br /> <br /> Criterion Collection 161. N.p. unknown

Using a script based on the actual transcript notes taken during her trial Bresson focuses on the psychological and physical torture that Joan had to endure showing how these techniques were used to break her resolve and cause her to eventually recant her faith. <br/><br/>"With impeccable historical accuracy Bresson re-creates the story of the peasant girl who after leading an unsuccessful revolt against the government was brought to trial convicted of heresy and burned as a witch. However Bresson shows Joan Florence Carrez as a woman more sophisticated and calculating and less naive than she has normally been represented. His Joan while more real is no less heroic than the traditional Joan."<br/><br/>In a custom museum-quality frame archivally mounted with UV glass. 9.5 x 7.25 inches. Near Fine. N.p. unknown books
