Summary
Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element, Resident Evil) is Joan of Arc, a young woman who would inspire and lead her countrymen until her execution at the age of nineteen. Raised in a religious family, Joan witnessed her sister's rape and death at the hands of an invading army. Years later, as the same war raged on, Joan stood before her king with a message she claimed came from God: give her an army, and in God's name, she would reclaim his diminished kingdom. But was the message real or were they the delusions of a girl whose life had been shattered?. This startling epic drama from Luc Besson (Lucy, The Fifth Element) explores the life of Joan of Arc, her amazing victories, relationship with God, and tragic death. Co-starring John Malkovich and Academy Award-winners Dustin Hoffman and Faye Dunaway.. Winner of Best Sound and Best Costume Design and nominated for Best Director, Best Film, and Best Cinematography at the César Awards. "Besson gives intensely vivid battle sequences and haunting interior moments the same muscular certainty." - Duane Dudek, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "If all history lessons were this stylish, elementary school would have been a better place." - Matt Kelsey, TNT's Rough Cut
