		But the horrific scene-setting of this Joan of Arc bears the scars of more recent atrocities in the Balkans: her elder sister Catherine acts as a human shield for Joan, and hides her in a cupboard; Catherine is assaulted by an English ruffian, impaled on the cupboard door and her dying body raped.
		Joan of Arc been a heroine for little girls for generations; many, when they grow up, are still fascinated by her breaking the mould of so many expectations and limits - Madonna wanting to make yet another film is all of a piece with Vita Sackville-West's attraction 63 years ago.
		It's an equally unrehearsed irony that Joan of Arc was eventually canonised by the same Church that had declared her an apostate and an idolater and a schismatic in the course of a full, legal, inquisition trial.

		Joan of Arc appears to him and challenges him to sacrifice his life for the defense of France to expiate the sins of the English against her country.
		Joan's power was in her purity, and it is evident from this film that the paradox of a virgin leading an army of men confounded her interrogators.

	Caxtonian: March 2001
		Joan is the only saint to have been so executed, though other revered figures in the Catholic pantheon have had problems with Church authorities over the centuries.
		Joan was beatified in 1909, under Pope Pius X, and designated as France's patron saint in 1920, after World War I. Members of the French extreme right, in the meantime, had been proclaiming that they were the only true French patriots.
		He thinks of Joan as an inventor of Protestantism (because her "inner voice" was more important than the institution of the Church), and of Nationalism—and, incidentally, of rational clothing for women (he does not discuss her crewcut).

	The Passion of Joan of Arc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Joan's acceptance of martyrdom and her opposite commitment to staying alive are, miraculously enough, simultaneously on display at almost every moment.
		Joan's emotions themselves are the things on trial, disturbing as they are to a scholarly and élite group of men who believe themselves to be close to God but who have no context for the urgent religious sensations of which this young, illiterate girl speaks.
		Despite some mawkish end titles describing Joan's spirit as "the white soul of France," The Passion of Joan of Arc is not terribly interested in resolving the ambiguities of its heroine's spirituality, her convictions, or her subversive personal politics.

	Joan of Arc (1948 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joan of Arc is a 1948 Technicolor film starring Ingrid Bergman as the French religious icon and war hero.
		One of the criticisms of the film is that Bergman, who was 33 at the time she made the movie, was nearly twice the real Joan of Arc's age; the Swedish actress would later play her (at age 39) in a 1954 Italian film, Giovanna d'Arco al rogo (Joan at the Stake).
		The actual story of Joan then begins, from the time she realizes that she is apparently truly divinely sent on her mission, to her execution by burning at the hands of the English and the Burgundians.

	DVD Times: Region 1 Reviews: The Passion of Joan of Arc
		In Joan's native France, Robert Bresson made The Trial of Joan of Arc in 1962 and more recently there was Luc Besson's treatment of the story, with Milla Jovovich in the lead.
		But this is definitely a dranmatised film we are watching: Dreyer keeps much of the action in close up, often composing his shots along diagonals to emphasise the opposition between Joan and her prosecutors.
		The Passion of Joan of Arc is a silent film, and Dreyer did not authorise a score for it.

		Nonetheless, Joan of Arc was declared a heretic and burned at the stake.

		Joan of Arc, the Patron Saint of France and a young girl long revered by the French as the saviour of their country in the Middle Ages is certainly a lofty character for any actress to try and portray on screen.
		The Victor Fleming 1948 version for RKO starring Ingrid Bergman in one of her most famous roles is still one of the best known versions and it certainly has gathered both its admirers and critics over the years since its initial release.
		The chief criticism of "Joan of Arc", centred around its sound stage bound appearance and the fact that Ingrid Bergman was 33 years of age when she portrayed the teenage peasant girl who led the French armies to victory.

		Jovovich married Besson after that film and it was then announced she would star in his Joan of Arc project.
		If you're not comfortable with making a film about the glory of war, you should probably stay away from the story of Joan of Arc (although there is no historical record of Joan killing anyone, and there are many accounts of her sparing the lives of prisoners).
		Finally, the effect is like reading the description Joan gave of her life at her trial ("Unique among the world's biographies," Mark Twain said, because it is "the only one which comes to us from the witness stand.") What moves you is that something so simple and plain could add up to something so profound.

		Jovovich is convincing, and while at times the film may drag (at times you wish they'd hurry up and burn her), it is a remarkable and insightful retelling of a well-known piece of history.
		Especialy a little scene at the begining when Joan is a little girl and she just had that vision with the sword and she comes back home just to see her mother (am not sure if it was her mother or not) killed with that same sword and then raped.
		When Joan is riding her horse up to the castle to meet with Charles VII for the first time, an enormous shadow of the craning cameraman can be seen.

		Leelee Sobieski is Joan, and portrays here as a driven, conflicted young woman, who is usually sure that God has spoken to her, through Saint Catherine, and charged her with the mission of helping France to find its way toward unification and a true national identity.
		It is regrettable that Joan's heavily fictionalized conflicts with her father are given so much screentime at the expense of genuine historical events.
		Finally, Joan was actually captured in battle beneath the walls of Compiegne (possible betrayed from within the city; the gates were shut against her).

		Trivia: Maxwell Anderson's play, "Joan of Lorraine", from which this film was adapted, is a play-within-a-play, and its plot not only relates the story of Joan of Arc, but also shows the effect that Joan's story has on an acting company that is performing it, especially the actress playing the leading role.
		Ingrid Bergman had wanted to retain the play's structure for the film, but the studio thought the idea was uncinematic and would not appeal to moviegoers, so the Joan of Arc scenes were expanded by Maxwell Anderson and Andrew Solt, and the film's plot was altered to tell only the story of Joan.
		The title was also changed to the more easily identifiable "Joan of Arc", and in contrast to "Joan of Lorraine", in which all the actors played two or more roles, the majority of actors in "Joan of Arc" played only one role.

		"Joan of Arc" will rank as one of the great films of this generation on several counts--importance of theme, splendor of production values, pictorial beauty, skillful handling of emotional buildup and honesty of characterizations.
		Victor Fleming, who directed, also was director of "Gone With the Wind." Ingrid Bergman as Joan seems to have derived inspiration from the historic story.
		As sheer spectacle, they top those of "Henry V." The latter part of the picture, devoted to the trial and burning of Joan, are emotionally devastating--a mood of sustained tragedy.

		Once there, revelers decide to play a game by placing an impostor on the throne for Joan to meet, but she senses something is amiss and carefully finds the real Dauphin among the crowd, kneeling to his feet.
		The debate over Joan's authenticity grows, but the Dauphin accepts her as genuine, and before long the teenage girl finds herself leading Gallic troops into deadly battle for the heart and sovereignty of France.
		With plenty of action scenes, as well as generous head-to-toe framing, one gets a sense from Joan of Arc that Bergman was, in fact, a tall, fit, athletic woman — and it's this fact, not her age, that makes her a less-than-ideal choice for the historical role she loved so much.

		Still, it gained Bergman a Best Actress Oscar nomination and she so enjoyed the role that she filmed the opera Joan at the Stake with Rossellini six years later.
		In the pecking order of the dozens of Joan of Arc movies this stands, in reverential solidity, miles above the hideous 1934 UFA version and equally far below the Bresson.
		The Hours somehow changed my perception of myself and those around me. The film has such a sad (yet marvellous) ending that you can't help but think about your own life.
