Description
15th century France. Tasked by visions of saints to help free her country from the English, a young peasant girl leaves her humble home to meet the heir to the French throne, determined to lead his troops into battle. She ends the siege on the city of Orléans and accompanies the triumphant king to his coronation in Reims. Injured during subsequent battles, she is soon captured by the enemy, who put her faith on trial. The mythical figure of Joan of Arc comes to vivid life in this grounded and moving adaptation by Jacques Rivette, an epic two-part portrait starring a magnetic Sandrine Bonnaire.
