    Roman Polanski, who won the Best Director Award for J'accuse's "I accuse" at the 45th Caesars Awards in 2020, has caused great controversy in French society, especially women. Because he was accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in Los Angeles, and was subsequently accused of sexually assaulting multiple other women. French women took to the streets to protest against the awards, with great momentum. In fact, there are countless great women in French history, including: Saint Joan...

    Plain pictures, complex language. The picture doesn't look good, it's just plain. The language is very complex and cannot be interpreted by Lan translation. Increases the difficulty of watching the film. Only...

    Bresson's use of old-fashioned methods in video editing and sound-picture processing tries to avoid the possible pitfalls of platitudes of subject matter. Rather than referring to Joan of Arc, it would be better to say that Joan of Arc's suffering all fits in with Bresson's self...

    A condensed, calm and solemn film, focusing on the trial itself, without any fancy elements, rational and speculative answers during the trial, Joan of Arc's belief is firm, and piety is no different from the essence of the church, only because she is supported and challenged by the Holy See. Authoritative, "shocking the world" has become her unforgivable crime, the image of the saint in men's clothing has an indescribable modernity, the ideas of Bresson's film and his advance, half a century...

    1. Compared with the exaggerated emphasis of Dreyer's version, I prefer Bresson's calm and concise. 2. The actor's mechanical expression is particularly harmonious under this theme, and the tight shot and closed composition fit the theme of imprisonment; 3. Bresson's heroine is always beautiful, but this time she was amazed, or the most beautiful in film history Jeanne? 4. The peeping in the hole in the wall of the beloved prison and the big cross scene in the thick smoke at the end;...

    For me, Bresson really is, it's not that I can't see it, but I don't think it's an existence that needs to be seen. . . By the way, has he made a...

    8/10. Joan of Arc followed God to lead the people to defend freedom, but was judged not by the enemy but by the church. Joan of Arc denied that she could be saved, but this was tantamount to denying the voice of God and the image of a prison (such as a close-up of a human eye in a crack in the wall) Turning into an evil force that threatens spiritual beliefs, the judge applies secular concepts (a man disguised as a woman is a demon) to God, and uses whether Joan of Arc can escape from prison to...

    Through unbalanced composition, the space is "fragmented", and there is no complete lens in the space, and it is gradually understood through connection, thereby turning it into a closed but infinite reality, making the outside world like a prison cell. Emotions are not expressed by faces (as opposed to Dreyer), and space does not need to be subservient or analogous to a close-up, but can appear directly in the medium...

    she's still there to be stared at

    After so many years, I am afraid that Joan of Arc under the lens of Bresson still cannot be surpassed by the later image.

    Before going to see this movie, I first watched "Joan of Arc" filmed in Canada in 1999. It was a big movie I saw when I was a child. Lily Soboski, who lost her long hair by the...

    A story about Joan of Arc adapted and directed by Robert Bresson

    At first, I thought Bresson's work was more primitive. There is no timeline control like "The Pickpocket" and "The Diary of a Country Prisoner", and there are not a lot of close-ups in "Dead Man Escape". The trial clips are almost all long shots, and a few shots back to prison are similar. What I...
