How did he do that

How did he do it? ! The film conveys a very complex emotion. The entire movie is said from the beginning to be based on preserved court records. The scene is simple, but there is extremely complex information. When the clergy who sympathized with her persuaded her, she thought of the firmness of the faith. Even the clergy can lead you to betray your beliefs... She fears the stake, she rejects women's clothing. What Bresson portrays in the film is not Joan of Arc but a more general human emotion and thought.

It is inevitable to compare Dreyer's version. Although De's is a silent film, its close-up of Joan of Arc's face and the tense soundtrack create a sense of suffocation, which is frightening. Close-up of the foot at the end, staggering to death.
