In the 15th century, France and England stake a blood claim for the French throne. Believing that God had chosen her, Joan leads the army for France, but when she is captured, the Church sends her for trial. Refusing to accept the accusations, the graceful Joan of Arc will stay true to her mission.
Following his rock opera Jeannette, this second instalment in Bruno Dumont’s medieval diptych is a ravishing spectacle. With carnivalesque whimsy, Dumont stages military campaigns like Busby Berkeley numbers, while 10-year-old Lise Leplat Prudhomme steals the show as the doomed martyr facing trial.
