Product: The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (Region 2) (1999)
Rating: 5.0
An irreverent portrayal
The Messenger - The Story of Joan of Arc: An intense movie with an emotional kick. Milla Jovovich, lambasted by critics, movingly portrays the psychological anguish of a young girl on a collision course with destiny and history. This has become a cult classic and I dearsay that it will be a long time before any better version is produced. Kudos to Besson for taking a stab at orthodoxy and religion's twisted view of history.
