  • Title: Giovanna d'Arco guerriera e santa [the role of Joan of Arc appeals to actresses because the protagonist of the film tends to dominate events; the director, however, has to deal with the supernatural elements in the story; some, like Luc Besson, strive for a worldly presentation of Joan as a rebel; Christian Duguay takes a more literal-minded approach, using angelic images that border on kitsch].
