1994
Synopsis

Editorial
In the conclusion to their two-part epic, the perfectly paired Jacques Rivette and Sandrine Bonnaire continue their atheistic approach to the life & death of Joan of Arc, chronicling Joan, the woman, at war and on trial. An elegant, understated, and uniquely human portrayal of the canonical figure.
