Johanna von Orleans: Directed by Luc Besson. With Rab Affleck, Stéphane Algoud, Edwin Apps, David Bailie. A young girl receives a vision that drives her to rid France of its oppressors.
“Some movies would probably try to make a more divine spirit out of Joan but at least Besson examines all possibilities as regards to what inspired her. I think it was as honest a film you could make about Joan. Her quest for revenge combined with tremendous belief in the forces above that ignited her fire. Through Dustin Hoffman the viewer can question her motives and get her response. And what a performance! Milla was simply breathtaking as Joan.”
