• Passion Play

    Forty-seven years after Anna Karina communed with The Passion of Joan of Arc’s Maria Falconetti in Vivre sa vie, Carl Theodor Dreyer’s Saint Joan continues to inspire artists. According to a Pitchfork Media report, Will Gregory and Adrian Utley, members of the bands Goldfrapp and Portishead, are collaborating on a new score for the silent, spare 1922 masterpiece. The full-length piece—which will feature electric guitar, horns, percussion, keyboard, and members of the London-based Monteverdi Choir—will premiere May 7 in the United Kingdom, at Colston Hall in Bristol.

    This is so exciting! We talked about this piece of news live last Friday on CriterionCast. The episode should be up online later today. There is also a live scored screening of Passion of Joan of Arc at SXSW on Wednesday the 18th of March with the band: In the Nursery. I'll be there if any other Criterion fans want to have a meet-up.
