Sumario:This work presents an analysis of Carl Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc, from three vertices that make up a silent cinema axiology. In the first place, the gesture, which contests with the image the privilege of founding the silent expression. Secondly, the face, acting either as a deleuzian “black hole”, and either as a semiological code through a syntagmatic linguage demonstrated in the filmic procedures. Finally, we are led to an analysis of death in the film as derridian aporia. The theoretical corollary that guides this approach are the ideas of Antonin Artaud for cinema.
