1962: Procès de Jeanne d'Arc (The Trial of Joan of Arc)

After Dreyer's masterful take on the process against Jeanne d'Arc, it seems like an incredibly shite idea to shoot a film on the same topic, based on the same protocols, but apparently that didn't occur to Robert Bresson. His version is matter-of-factly, austere to the point of artlessness, and a great film to show in history class. (6.5)
