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 Dumont's decision to work with a ten-year-old actress re-injects this heroine's 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.

Press Quotes

striking...contemporary without breaking the particular period spell the movie creates

     —Glenn Kenny, New York Times

Dumont transforms the tale into a dialectical spectacle.

     —Richard Brody, New Yorker

(The film) achieves the miraculous feat of poking at the dogmatism of religious institution, while celebrating faith in all its mysterious, obscure powers.

     —Leonardo Goi, The Film Stage

The extraordinary Lise Leplat Prudhomme reprises her role as the child martyr and gives (the film) a soulful centerpiece.

     — Eric Kohn, IndieWire

There is a God and his name is Bruno Dumont. His piously poisonous sequel to last year's best film, Jeannette: The Childhood of Joan of Arc, is artier, holier, and will give you Catholic goose bumps

     —John Waters, Artforum
