With the Oscars coming up, look at the performance by Maria Falconetti, and whether any of the actors nominated today come even close.
The set up is that this is after the battles to free France, when Joan is awaiting the predetermined verdict of a sham trial, as she is being tortured to confess her sins. (This story is so well known, I feel that these arn't spoilers) This entire movie is incredibly intense, and silent but for a brilliant soundtrack.
