Bruno Dumont with this look at Joan (a returning Lise Leplat Prudhomme) during her most famous exploits: leading the French army against the English, before being tried for heresy. Austere and restrained – don’t expect oversized battle sequences – employs stylised scene-setting, an elliptical timeframe, imposing architecture and plaintive pop songs (!) to amplify the sense of alienation. A peculiar dream of a film in which Prudhomme gives a mesmerising performance.
