In the 15th century, both France and EngIand stake a blood cIaim for the French throne. BeIieving that God had chosen her, the young Joan leads the army of the King of France. When she is captured, the Church sends her for triaI on charges of heresy. Refusing to accept the accusations, the gracefuI Joan of Arc wiII stay true to her mission. Bruno Dumont's decision to work with a ten-year-old actress re-injects this heroine's timeIess cause and ideology with a modernity that highIights both the tragic femaIe condition and the incredible fervor, strength and freedom women show when shackIed by societies and archaic virile orders that beIittle and aIienate them. |
