Joan d'Arc
Added 12/16/2009
This video though very long does an excellant job of depicting the rise and demise of this courageous though naive French peasant girl. The acting of Powers Boothe and Sir Peter O'Toole is excellant. For a change, it seems that Hollywood tried to get the History correct.

As you remember, I've complained about the product ordered as not good. I've returned it and that was the end of the story. Will I order again in the future? That remains to be determined.

Excellent Low Budget Film
Added 9/12/2009
Seems to be very close to the historical record. They obviously softened Cauchon's role for Peter O'Toole and consolidated the three military leaders into Peter Strauss' role. I preferred the fire in Mila Jovovich's portrayal (but hated everything else about "The Messenger.") Mark Twain's version (The Story of Joan of Arc) is great reading, classic Twain, and surprisingly even more accurate than any movie yet made on Joan. I highly recommend both this video and Mark Twain's book.

Great movie!
Added 5/22/2009
This movie is perfect for someone looking to watch a more modern rendition of the story of the martyr Joan of Arc. Though it has battles, it is not violent and well deserving of a PG rating, (it does not have a rating). Lee Lee Sokieski makes a striking Joan, while Neil Patrick Harris plays King Charles.

Best Joan of Arc film ever seen
Added 5/16/2009
This is the best Joan of Arc film I has ever seen.
The actress Leelee Sobieski has played the role absolutely persuasive.The action does not correspond completely to the true story Joan of Arc, but, nevertheless, the film was excellent.The sword was found not really by Joan of Arc even in the chapel, but you allowed to dig out it by order and bring to her.Also the beginning agrees as you to Vaucouleur goes, not with the true story. Nevertheless, this passage of the film was moved very well.The film earns anyway the full number of the stars!Absolutely without compromises recommendable.
