The feminist subtext of the film is quite much foregrounded-plainly Jeanne is an avatar for Jeanne D’Arc (Joan of Arc), and there are also direct back links in one particular scene among Jeanne and Marianne, the female personification of the French Republic-and regardless of the darkness Jeanne wallows in and the horrors she is subjected to, this is a film truly worth encountering, typically since there has seriously been almost nothing like.
