One way to tell versions of this film apart is by how much blood spurts from a vein in the bleeding scene.  It opens with an iris shot focusing on a pair of hands thumbing through an old manuscript. Its cinematographer Rudolf MatÃ© gained fame for a shot near the climax where the camera whirls upside down while showing peasants rushing over a drawbridge, followed by a symbolic image of pigeons landing on a cross.  Its current DVD versions come from the Oslo Print, often accompanied by Richard Einhorn's composition "Voices of Light." The director of this film later adapted stories from Sheridan le Fanu for his horror film Vampyr. Rediscovered in 1981 in a mental institution, and known for lingering facial close-ups, FTP name this silent classic starring Maria Falconetti as the title martyr, directed by Carl Dreyer.
