Jeanne d'Arc - Joan of Arc (1412-1431)
A little forgotten by the historians the cinema because of film of Dreyer left the previous year, this "Jeanne d' Arc", in a very different style, is however remarkably carried out. We are here in the more popular register of the great historical reconstitutions with great reinforcement of horses and ebullient oil. With a superb Jeanne d' sixteen year old Arc, interpreted by Simone Genevois.
