Review by Library Journal Review

"We didn't need dialog. We had faces!" proclaimed faded silent-film star Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) in Sunset Boulevard. So it is with Renée Falconetti, an actress whose face radiates feeling as her saintly character is tormented, and finally martyred, for heresy at the hands of conniving clergymen. Restored to its complete and uncensored glory, Carl Theodor Dreyer's (Vampyr; Day of Wrath) masterpiece is generously offered with a choice of three scores and two frame rates, as well as a revealing host of extras, in a superb presentation of one of the all-time great silents.
