Sobieski followed it by scoring the tricky lead role in Joan of Arc and a brief appearance in one of the many coveted (at the time) cameos in Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.
Sobieski's Emmy-nominated turn as French warrior Joan of Arc seems like an anomaly, although her grave demeanor does aptly suit the legend of the young girl deemed a heretic for having visions of God.
We submit that Sobieski is hopelessly out of her league in a world ruled by Kirsten Dunst, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Reese Witherspoon, all of whom outshine, outclass, and out-gossip our long-haired, low-voiced Leelee.

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.
Sobieski brings a youthfulness to the role that is refreshing and convincing, and she makes an appealing and sympathetic Jeanne.
