Besson's film is anti-Catholic claptrap. It presents Joan as a lunatic and those who follow her as simpletons. Historically, it is also wildly inaccurate. The CBS miniseries starring Leelee Sobieski was more balanced, better drama, and better history. The definitive Joan film so far is Carl Th. Dreyer's silent classic, "La Passione de Jeanne D'Arc." Ronald F. Maxwell, maker of "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals," has long been planning a film on Joan that will, when it is made, be one of the bets entries in the genre.

Ron Maxwell made the film years ago and had to shelf it. When France found out that he was making such a film, they immediately started to make their own and had it in the theatres before he finished his--he's very thorough. Then soon after that, NBC aired a mini series.

Ron will be releasing it in the distant future.

"The CBS miniseries starring Leelee Sobieski was more balanced,"

CBS balanced, that is a miracle.
