Jeanne d’Arc is a tribute to the spirit of the famous French heroine, a woman who challenged her time, leaving an immortal legacy of courage and inspiration. Joan of Arc is a young peasant girl who, driven by deep faith and extraordinary determination, manages to lead the French people in the fight for liberation from English domination during the Hundred Years' War.
At a time when cinema was still discovering its narrative and visual potential, the story is told through simple, eloquent, and effective images. It follows Joan’s journey from her humble village to the court of Charles VII, where her boldness and charisma succeed in mobilizing an entire nation. Her character embodies courage, purity, and sacrifice—qualities of someone who, upheld by unwavering faith, faces skepticism, betrayal, and the cruel judgment of a tribunal that condemns her for heresy.
Scenes unfold with the theatrical grace of silent cinema, heightened by editing that emphasizes tension and emotion, immersing the viewer in an atmosphere of moral tension and dramatic intensity.
