For those who are into French history...knock yourselves out--this set is good enough to rent at least. But as a film, it falls short and the presentation can't buoy it up.

Austere and handsome, propelled by an unadorned but magnetic performance by Sandrine Bonnaire.

An original political response to Joan's plight.

Stripped of much of the incident that one would expect from an expansive biopic, but still remarkably satisfying, Rivette's two-film epic finds a psychological realism that's only enhanced by his unorthodox approach.
