The Locarno Film Festival has announced their lineup for the 67th edition, taking place this August between the 6th and 16th. It speaks for itself, but, um, wow...
"Every film festival, be it small or large, claims to offer, if not an account of the state of things, then an updated map of the art form and the world it seeks to represent. This cartography should show both the major routes and the byways, along with essential places to visit and those that are more unusual. The Festival del film Locarno is no exception to the rule, and I think that looking through the program you will be able to distinguish the route map for this edition." — Carlo Chatrian, Artistic Director

Clémence Poésy has admitted to having mixed feelings about her role on Gossip Girl The Birdsong actress played Eva Coupeau for four episodes of The CW's teen drama between filming roles in Danny Boyle's 127 Hours and French film The Silence of Joan (Jeanne Captive). "[I thought] 'It's going to be nice to have something light in between'," she told The Daily Telegraph. "But sometimes you take decisions and then you're like, 'What?' I just wondered why I was there. I should have thought it through a bit before." She added of growing up to (more)...

The Jeanne Captive (The Silence of Joan) Teaser Trailer has premiered. Philippe Ramos‘ Jeanne Captive (The Silence of Joan) 2011 teaser trailer stars Clémence Poésy, Liam Cunningham, Mathieu Amalric, Bernard Blancan, and Christopher Craig. Jeanne Captive‘s plot synopsis: “The Silence of Joan (Jeanne Captive) takes place in 1403 with Joan a captive of a powerful French lord who sells her off to the English…Between the walls that imprison her and the stake at which she will perish, men attempt to approach this young woman who embodies the infinite.”
I have seen two Joan of Arc productions: Christian Duguay‘s Joan of Arc TV mini-series starring Leelee Sobieski and Luc Besson‘s The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc starring Milla Jovovich. I have never seen Carl Theodor Dreyer‘s The Passion of Joan of Arc.
Jeanne Captive also stars Thierry Frémont, Louis-Do de Lencquesaing, and Jean-François Stévenin. Watch Jeanne Captive...

Clemence Poesy in The Silence of Joan
Photo: Sophie Dulac Distribution Standing in line for Philippe Ramos' The Silence of Joan (Jeanne Captive) another critic wondered aloud, "Will this be more Carl Theodor Dreyer or Luc Besson?" It's a question I would think anyone walking in was wondering considering The Passion of Joan of Arc and The Messenger are probably the two best known cinematic versions of The Maid of Orleans' tale even though several other versions have been told in-between the 71 years that separate the silent classic from the rather over-bearing Milla Jovovich edition. However, no matter what you think of those two, you'll even respect Besson's overblown edition much more than you will this latest telling, because at least he tried.
Here, The Silence of Joan makes hardly an effort to deviate from the story's path or offer up a unique way in presenting it. All we...

Jeanne Captive is the latest version of the story of Jeanne D'Arc - a 15th-century teenage girl who led the French to [temporary] victory over the English at age 17.
Milla Jovovich and LeeLee Sobieski tackled the role in the 1990s in two English-language versions that are both love-or-hate-them. This time, a French version starring Clémence Poésy and directed by Philippe Ramos is set in 1403 during the time that Joan was a prisoner of a traitorous French lord who sold her to the English (who eventually burned her at the stake as a witch). Joan is portrayed as a manic-depressive who fears the loss of her "voices". Anyone who has undergone Cymbalta-withdrawal can relate, I'm sure, to what Joan goes through.
THR's review isn't extremely flattering. In fact, they call it "tedious". But then again, they barely allocated 4.5 paragraphs of digital space on their website to talk about the movie, so they...

Over the years, there have been numerous interpretations of the legend of Joan of Arc. Two of my favourites are Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc and at the other end of the scope, Luc Besson's over the top The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc which presents the young woman as a warrior (a version I enjoy though it is by far the most bombastic of the bunch).
It's been a few years since we've seen a new interpretation and this time, it's coming to us care of the French with Clémence Poésy in the lead role. The Silence of Joan (Jeanne Captive) takes place in 1403 with Joan a captive of a powerful French lord who sells her off to the English. The synopsis continues to read:

With a half dozen titles in the sidebars, the Parisian Sales Agent Film Distribution folks are certainly going to be hosting several parties. At the top of the list they've got Bertrand Bonello's House of Tolerance. In the waiting, we find the co. pushing Brillante Mendoza's latest entitled Captured - a film that features a Croisette fixture in the popular Isabelle Huppert (see pic above).
