Director Luc Besson has blessed us with, how shall I say it, a very different interpretation of the legendary French warrior/saint, Joan of Arc. This Joan is not the confident and serene Joan we have seen in other films, or may have read about in books. Besson's Joan is frenetic and unstable, she rambles on, shakes incessantly, appears often times confused and is subject to unexpected bursts of rage. Not exactly traits that would inspire either religious fervor or courage in battle.
