The film focuses on the last moments of the life of France's national heroine, Joan of Arc (portrayed by Maria Falconetti), depicting her betrayal and capture by the Burgundians, and the subsequent process of her trial and execution in English prisons and courts. The Catholic Church, tightly controlled by the English authorities, accused Joan of heresy and witchcraft. In court, the judge even fabricated evidence, subjecting her to mental and physical torment over matters of faith. Faced with brutal torture and unfounded accusations, Joan remained dignified and unyielding. Ultimately, she was taken to the square in Rouen, bound to a stake, and burned alive. Directed by the legendary filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer, "The Trial of Joan of Arc" is regarded as one of the top ten greatest films in the world. The film uses powerful artistic expression to recreate the final moments of this national hero, tormented by the Catholic Church and the English occupying force.
