Jeannette, l'enfance de Jeanne d'Arc (2017) Reviews
Weird, Unique, Emotional Piece
If you are contemplating seeing the movie, I suggest watching the trailer first. It gives a very good taste of what you're setting yourself up for. If you've seen the trailer and watch the movie anyway, don't bash it. You had an accurate forecast of what you were going to see. OK. So much for my criticism of other reviews. The movie is a musical. I thought the musical performances of all the actors was mostly very good. There were a couple of spots where the singing seemed discordant with the accompaniment. But it wasn't grating. I had an idea from reading about the movie before I saw it what kind of music I was in for, so it didn't bother me. Not my preferred style of music, but it works in a sort of weird way. The basic story line of the movie is that Jeanette is a shepherd girl who spends most of her time thinking/singing/praying about the war - how the French are being defeated by the English and that someone needs to do something about it. She prays to God for a war lord to save the French. Of course, God chooses her. But she's slow to answer God's call, taking several years to muster up the decision to follow God's will, something she does at the end. We don't see the result. The movie is about her struggle leading up to that point.
A reasonable interpretation of the early life of Jeanne (Jehanne( d'Arc
Very much enjoyed "Jeanette" / The Childhood of Joan of Arc. Both actresses playing very young Joan were very good. Right away, though, I need to state that I hope I can be forgiven for thinking that the first very charming actress portraying a younger version of the person, could not be surpassed, or replaced, by "an older version". For the first few minutes after, I mourned for "the loss" of the younger actress, while realizing that people -- including Joan of Arc -- do grow (agrandir, in French) whether or not one wants them to do so, also on celluloid. The actress who ably replaces the younger girl is, like life itself, something that sort of happens. Too, she is very, very good in the follow-up role. This interpretation of Joan, a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, is quite intelligent, mature, thoughtful, and wise. Joan is suitably depicted as emotionally and spiritually mature for her age, quite athletic, and consistently attuned from a very early age to politics. Viewers will have their own opinions about the nuns, the sisters Gervaise. My own thinking is that the singing was in a French manner, projecting some things that are occasionally off-putting / antithetical / heretical? in terms of Christianity. Still, one should be aware that Joan lived c. 1412 to May 30, 1431, and the theology expressed may have been either the "zeitgeist" of the times, or that of the director nowadays. Either way, this is a movie worth seeing for aficionados of Jehanne d'Arc. One final note: When doing a film about Joan of Arc, I truly believe that one had better be French, or be very much immersed in the subject matter That being stated, I still feel sad for Jean Seberg, who play Joan in "Saint Joan". Finally, I very much applaud Bruno Dumont, the director.
Did the young child Joan of Arc forfeit her soul to God to be damned forever?
Did the young child Joan of Arc forfeit her soul to God to be damned forever to ransom the souls of those in hell whom Jesus could not save? This is one question this musical attempts to answer. POPE SAINT PIUS X (year 1909) said about Joan that, "Jeanne has shone like a new star destined to be the glory of not only France but of the Universal Church as well." This musical is as much Jewish as it is Christian. As much about David as Joan. As much about Israel as France. Or might Joan of Arc be a bridge to Jesus Christ? A rainbow bridge? Is Joan of Arc the incarnation of the Greek goddess "Iris", personal messenger of the high god Zeus? Is Joan of Arc(Bow, Rainbow) the bearer/guardian of God's eternal rainbow covenant with both man and beast? This is a better covenant than the 10 Commandments because people/animals don't have to do anything! They don't even have to believe! People have to believe in Jesus Christ (as the Son of God) to be saved under that covenant. The rainbow covenant is all about the promises of God, and God does not break his promises.
See the Passion of Joan of Arc instead
One of the worst films I have seen in years. Pretentious, vapid, poorly filmed drivel. For art film masochists only. My assumption is the only reason this ridiculous piece of trash got made was with a French government subsidy. Don't waste your time or money on this one, as I unfortunately did. Believe me, you will leave the theater wishing you could have the last couple of hours of your life back. Music is awful, acting inept, strange attempts at dancing, no visual cohesion, dialogue ludicrous and conceptually the film is a mess, Nothing redeemable, although I thought some of the wandering sheep were more interesting than the humans on screen; at least they seemed to have some purpose in their actions.
Burn this at the stake
I had to walk out after an hour. Utterly unwatchable gospel preaching set to music and sung in semi heavy metal/semi chant by a child. (Seen at sxsw festival).
