Product Description:
Australia released, PAL/Region 0 DVD:it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: French ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ),English ( Subtitles ),WIDESCREEN (1.66:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Cast/Crew Interview(s), Documentary, Featurette, Interactive Menu, Trailer(s),SYNOPSIS: Characteristically breaking with tradition, director Robert Bresson presents a realistic, unique view of the life and death of Joan of Arc. Using a script based on the actual transcript notes taken during her trial, Bresson focuses on the psychological and physical torture that Joan had to endure, showing how these techniques were used to break her resolve and cause her to eventually recant her faith. With impeccable historical accuracy Bresson re-creates the story of the peasant girl who, after leading an unsuccessful revolt against the government, was brought to trial, convicted of heresy, and burned as a witch. However, Bresson shows Joan (Florence Carrez) as a woman more sophisticated and calculating and less naive than she has normally been represented. His Joan, while more real, is no less heroic than the traditional Joan. This unusual approach is characteristic of this unique director who defies classification as either a traditional or "new wave" filmmaker while being highly respected for pursuing his own individual style and vision. Robert Bresson has been called a poet and philosopher with a camera, preoccupied with the idea of predestination and spiritual grace. In Proces de Jeanne d'Arc, as with all of his films, Bresson imprints his own personal signature. The film is tightly constructed and stripped to the bare essence of the material. Bresson has made only a handful of feature films, yet he is one of the most discussed and revered figures in cinema, creative, original and unique. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Cannes Film Festival,

First at all, try by all your means to establish any comparison of this peculiar version of this Joan of Arc respect Carl Theodor Dreyer, because of the fact that Dreyer makes a powerful visual metaphor, a vigorous homage, an apology of the epic struggling and possibly the employment most expressive close ups never filmed previous or lately. The eyes of Falconetti not only reveal but embody the horrid martyr.
The very fact to carry on stage this painful, decisive and abominable crime ... Read More
