Not quite Falconetti, 22 May 2004
Author: curtsurly777 de Bellingham, WA

Sir John Gielgud is supremely stately in this version. He excludes such profound aristocratic splendor and political good sense. I only wish that he hadn't been forced back through time in that ridiculous dream/vision sequence that frames this otherwise superb telling of the maid with moxy's eternally rewarding story.

Jean Seberg doesn't much change the intonation of her voice throughout the entire film. It becomes quite tiresome and ultimately irritating beyond reproach. Yes, she is quite lovely with her shorn locks and exquisite bone structure. She even evokes the divine Falconetti in one scene. Her curse is speech. Her movements resonate the gravity of her mission but her voice and pitch demonstrate that she hadn't quite learned to transform dialogue meant originally for the stage--into poetry for the screen.

Richard Widmark's impish, not-so-daft Dauphin is expertly portrayed. I really wanted the story to ditch the whole Joan nonsense and focus on the reign of Charles VII as played by Widmark just as he is in this film. It was fabulous to see Gilles de Rais take the throne in a failed effort to fool the maid. I would also love to see a lavish biopicture detailing his many passions. Perhaps by mockingly putting such a historically reviled figure upon the throne, these particular filmmakers were foreshadowing the searing bloodbaths yet to come to France and all of Western Europe...
