I have enjoyed a few cinematic versions of Jeanne d'arc, and although there a was a significant warning bell when I saw that this achieved some sort of Cannes acclaim (a normal correlation with a real turkey) I was looking forward to it. Then after an intro scene it suddenly cuts to a disjointed scene with bad dialogue in the middle of a sand pit. It got really bad and so I skipped forward a few times to confirm that this was a no budget film - bad everything. I thought maybe the ecclesiastical interrogation would offer some redemption but no, no..definitely no. Hilarious scene where I think all the money was spent on some horse dressage which in pretentious film word was probably an incitement interpretation of something they didn't have the money to depict. Avoid unless you're a diw hard French film fan but then, if you are, they had you at Cannes I imagine.
