How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
An operatic retelling of Joan of Arc's meteoric rise and tragic fall, told with visceral battle sequences and Luc Besson's characteristic visual intensity. It's a film that overwhelms through scale and conviction, exploring what it means to carry divine purpose into worldly warfare.
