About

In 1431, captured French fighter Jeanne d'Arc stands trial for heresy before a court loyal to the English.

Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1928 silent film is based on the trial record of Joan of Arc. In 1431, nineteen-year-old French fighter Jeanne d'Arc is captured by the Burgundians, English sympathizers, and brought to Rouen to stand trial for heresy before French clergymen loyal to the English. Maria Falconetti plays Jeanne. The court questions her about visions and a mission from God to drive the English from France. Among the judges are Bishop Pierre Cauchon (Eugène Silvain), Jean d'Estivet (André Berley), Nicolas Loyseleur (Maurice Schutz), Jean Massieu (Antonin Artaud), Jean Lemaître (Michel Simon) and Guillaume Evrard (Jean d'Yd). The judges, siding with the Burgundian-English coalition against the King of France, try to make her discredit her claim or shake her belief. She remains steadfast; one or two who believe she is a saint support her.
