Film Description

Based on the transcripts of the actual trial of Joan of Arc, Bresson's film is austere and methodical, balancing Joan's humiliation with her spiritual redemption. Featuring a remarkable cast of non-professional actors, the film portrays Joan's relentless interrogation and persecution by her captors in an almost documentary manner. Bresson transforms her oppression and suffering into a testament to her purity and spiritual liberation.
