By dedicating a film to her - "The Trial of Joan of Arc" (1962) - Robert Bresson showed the world a glimpse of the true face of the Maid of Orleans.

As the Church celebrates Joan of Arc on May 30, the patron saint of France and one of the heroines of the country's history has been the subject of numerous films. Among the most famous is the classic "The Trial of Joan of Arc" by Robert Bresson, originally released in 1962.
