A clip from the trial of Jeanne d'Arc on charges of heresy in the Hundred Years' War.
Maria Falconetti plays the role of Jean.
Dreyer projected afterwards a film about Christ, but failed in financing it.

The music in the background is taken from "Voices of light" by Richard Einhorn.

The intertitles say:

Jean: In France people call me Jean - at home they call me Jenny.
Bishop Cauchon: How old are You ?
Jean: 19 years - as it seems to me.
Bishop Cauchon: Do You know Your father ?

Jean nods.

Bishop Cauchon: Who tought You ?
Jean: My mother.
Bishop Cauchon: Would You recite the lords prayer here ?

Jean shakes her head.

Judge: You claim to be sent by God ?
Jean: To save France - this is, what I have been born for.
Judge: So You think, that God hates the English ?
Jean: About the hate or the love of God for the English I know nothing. But I do know well, that the English will be driven out of France - except those, who die here !

In the later process of her rehabilitation it is said, that her trials had been a sham - as the clerics had collaborated with the English.

In 1920 Jean had been canonized by the catholic church.

  • Mark Twain authored her life.

    12 years to research- 5 years to write-

    said it was his best work.

    Read to find out the courage, power and strength behind this girl.

  • The full title of this work would be:

    «Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, by the Sieur Louis de Conte»; 1895; Harpers Magazine

    It can be found online as it is considered today as 'public domain'.

    Thank You very much about Your remark on Twain. I did not knew that - but I find it remarkable.

  • Je suis Portuguais,mais j'adore le vidéo

  • Una gran obra de arte.Gracias por mostrarla!

  • Dreyer è uno di quei registi che ha saputo fare dei piani ravvicinati una costante del proprio cinema. I volti dei suoi personaggi parlano senza ricorrere alle parole, i loro occhi rivelano i loro mondo interiore.

  • Excellent film !

    There is one with English subtitles.

    It takes about 5 or 10 minutes to get into her eyes revealing her soul.

    Makes the soul soar to new heights.

    Thanks for the post.

  • Thanks a lot christophmahler.
