My Review:
For some reason, this is not a very well known movie. Which is surprising because it has a well known cast and is excellently made.
We get a deeper glimpse into the inner torment and motivation of Joan of Arc, history’s most celebrated heroine. These is very creatively demonstrated both in artistic flashbacks and in the personification of Joan’s doubt.
I don’t think a better movie could be made about this character.
