    • Trivia
      Prologue: "Joan of Arc died on May 30, 1431. She has no tomb and we have no portrait of her. But we have something better than a portrait: Her words to her judges at Rouen. I used the authentic texts of her condemnation. At the end, I used statements from her rehabilitation trial 25 years later. When the film begins, Joan has been in prison for several months at a castle in Rouen. Captured at Compiègne by traitorous French soldiers, she was sold to the English for a very high price. Her tribunal was composed exclusively of anglophiles from the University of Paris, led by Bishop Cauchon."
    • Goofs
      Although the story takes place in 1431, Jeanne's hairstyle is strictly a popular mode of the early 1960s. This is not a "goof" but an intention on the director's part to help young people identify with the character.
    • Quotes

      Bishop Cauchon: You must tell your judge the truth.

      Jeanne d'Arc: Beware of calling yourself my judge.

    simplicity
    it is the main virtue. based by original documents of trial, the film is a cold portrait of Jeanne. minimalist, convincing, blank, without the ingredients of dramatization. a form of docudrama ? not exactly. a form of exposure of director faith ? almost. because the film is a confession, no doubt. but one escaping to expectations. sure, it reminds La Passion de Jeanne d 'Arc by Dreyer . but differences are significant not only for different styles or ages but for the common points. because the same source has the different way to a message who ignores, in the case of this Jeanne, at the first sigh, the technique solutions. so, an useful film.
