Why watch this film?
When it comes to perhaps France's greatest heroine, there are no shortage of movies about Joan of Arc: from Carl Theodor Dreyer's masterpiece to Otto Preminger's version with Jean Seberg, Roberto Rossellini's with Ingrid Bergman or even Luc Besson's with Milla Jovovich. Proposing something different, then, is a challenge by default, but director Bruno Dumont (‘Camille Claudel’) achieved something similar with ‘Jeannette, the Childhood of Joan of Arc’, in musical form. ‘Joan of Arc’ (‘Jeanne’) continues the story and eliminates some of the excesses of its predecessor, although it achieves the same thing: dismantling the absurd glorification of a myth with self-aware humor. The film was selected for the Cannes Film Festival's Un Certain Regard section in 2019.

Camille Claudel 1915
Nominated for the prestigious Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, 'Camille Claudel' is a discreet yet powerful biographical drama about the eponymous artist, who destroyed much of her work after separating from fellow sculptor Auguste Rodin, whose relationship has been widely studied in art history. The film takes place during Claudel's early years of confinement exclusively within the walls of the psychiatric hospital. It is a "one-woman show," as Juliette Binoche's great performance carries the whole movie and conveys her loneliness and despair.

Slack Bay
This isn't a bawdy comedy, but it's still a funny movie with interesting characters. The result is strange, yes, but it's interesting precisely because of that, full of nonsensical humor in an aesthetic from the beginning of the 20th century, reminiscent at times of the movie 'Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines'. If that's what you're looking for...

The Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
