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].

Title :
Ideologia, creatività e iconografia nella Chiara di Liliana Cavani [Cavani's representation of Francis and Clare sets them in opposition to medieval hierarchies; she also, contrary to mystical theology, emphasizes Clare's individuality; the film does this, in part by eliminating the miraculous and legendary; Cavani uses Clare to represent the modern world disrupting medieval structures].
