Author(s):
Attolini, Vito.
Contributor(s):
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].

Author(s):
Suydam, Mary A.

Title :
Under the Spell of the Sorceress: The Allure of the Medieval [the author argues that the film "The Sorceress" wrongly depicts two cultures in conflict: the learned, masculine, and dominant versus the folk, feminine, and marginal; "No, I resist this film ["The Sorceress"] because it creates such images of powerful binary cultures in collision that are so in synchrony with modern beliefs and longings about the medieval that as a teacher I find them very difficult to overcome." (Page 51)].

Title :
The Sorceress and the Greyhound [the author argues that the film "The Sorceress" though based in part on Jean-Claude Schmitt's book, "The Holy Greyhound: Guinefort, Healer of Children Since the Thirteenth Century," is in nearly all aspects a modern fantasy; the author criticizes in particular the film's depiction of religion and the village women as ignorant and concerned only with their infants].

Jenkins, Jacqueline
Contributor(s):
Title :
Film, Women, and History [the author comments on recent Hollywood films set in the Middle Ages and concludes by considering "The Sorceress" as a teaching tool; she believes "The Sorceress" "requires too much distancing to use effectively. That is, it requires too much establishing and counter-arguing to make it work within the usual timeframes constraining our classes." (Page 62)].

Title :
The Sorceress as an Interpretive Tool in Medieval History Classes [the author argues that films like "The Sorceress" encourage students to critique the interpretation of history as presented in the film and to transfer these critical skills to written texts once they realize that the texts are simply other instances of interpretation].
