See the films the platforms disagree about most →The film depicts the final hours of Joan of Arc, the young maiden who led the French army. It focuses on her trial for heresy by a court of ecclesiastical judges. They subject her to intense psychological and physical interrogation, attempting to force her to recant her claims of divine guidance. The narrative is a stark examination of faith, cruelty, and resilience.
