I'd just like to add that, if anyone is interested in seeing some great films that influenced this one, I'd recommend:

The Passion of Joan of Arc by Dreyer
Diary of a Country Priest by Bresson
and the works of Douglas Sirk.

Any Joan of Arc movie made after "The Passion of Joan of Arc" is a waste of time.
