Synopse

In the 15th century, both France and England stake a blood claim for the French throne. Believing that
God had chosen her, the young Joan leads the army of the King of France. When she is captured, the
Church sends her for trial on charges of heresy. Refusing to accept the accusations, the graceful Joan of
Arc will stay true to her mission.
Bruno Dumonts decision to work with a ten-year-old actress re-injects this heroines timeless cause and
ideology with a modernity that highlights both the tragic female condition and the incredible fervor,
strength and freedom women show when shackled by societies and archaic virile orders that belittle and
alienate them
