Question: Which film has the director who died earlier, Il Seduttore or The Trial Of Joan Of Arc?

Known for his ascetic approach, Bresson contributed notably to the art of cinema; his non-professional actors, ellipses, and sparse use of scoring have led his works to be regarded as preeminent examples of minimalist film. Bresson is among the most highly regarded French filmmakers of all time. His works" A Man Escaped"( 1956)," Pickpocket"( 1959) and" Au hasard Balthazar"( 1966) were ranked among the 100 greatest films ever made in the 2012" Sight& Sound" critics' poll. Other films of his, such as" Mouchette"( 1967) and" L' Argent"( 1983), also received many votes. Jean- Luc Godard once wrote," He is the French cinema, as Dostoevsky is the Russian novel and Mozart is German[" sic"] music." Robert Bresson( 25 September 1901 – 18 December 1999) was a French film director. <SEP> Jeannette: The Childhood of Joan of Arc is a 2017 French musical film directed by Bruno Dumont. It was screened in the Directors' Fortnight section at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. It was followed two years later by the non-musical sequel" Joan of Arc" which premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, written and directed by Dumont and with Lise Leplat Prudhomme reprising her role. <SEP> It was adapted from the play by Diego Fabbri. Il seduttore( translation:" The Seducer") is a 1954 Italian comedy film directed by Franco Rossi. <SEP> Daniel Hobbins is a Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame and an American historian specializing in Medieval France. He has also written in the American Historical Review. In this article, Hobbins writes on Jean Gerson. Although his recent research involves Gerson, Dr. Hobbins' most significant work is" The Trial of Joan of Arc". Published scholarly reviews have been universally positive. For example, Wendy Maier of Oakton Community College writes that this" text is suitable for students, scholars, and anyone with an interest in Joan of Arc." Other reviews note the significance of the book as being the" first translation of the trial transcripts in fifty years!" Larissa Juliet Taylor, a professor at Colby College, says " The entire scholarly community will welcome two new books that offer English translations of many Johannine sources -- Hobbins' trial translation and introduction, reviewed here, ..." The reviewer thinks that Hobbins' book will be a useful for the classroom, because other editions of the trial transcripts are inadequate in various ways — not enough notes, bad OCR, etc. If this reviewer is correct, Hobbins' book will probably be in use in many college courses. Taylor's review ends:" Daniel Hobbins has provided an extraordinary service to the scholarly and educational community with this outstanding new translation of the Latin trial compilation. Equally important, his critical introduction and notes stand alongside the most valuable recent contributions to scholarship on Joan of Arc." Another positive reviewer refers to the book as" excellent" and" informative." The reviewer asks why" do we need Hobbins' new English translation?" The reasons given in this review by Susan Tiefenbrun are that Hobbins' book is" more reliable" and" more convenient." He" gave guest lectures on Joan of Arc at Bowling Green State University( October 17) and at Ohio Northern University( October 23". He is the recipient of the Nina Maria Gorrissen Prize and Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin for Fall 2011. <SEP> Franco Rossi( 19 April 1919, Florence- 5 June 2000, Rome) was an Italian film screenwriter and director, mainly known for having directed the six- hour- long Italian- German- British- Swiss TV mini-series" Quo Vadis?" in 1985. <SEP> Joan of Arc is played by Florence Delay. As with Bresson's most renowned films," The Trial of Joan of Arc" stars non-professional performers and is filmed in an extremely spare, restrained style. The Trial of Joan of Arc is a 1962 French historical film directed by Robert Bresson. Bresson's screenplay is drawn from the transcriptions of Joan's trial and rehabilitation. Bresson's" Joan of Arc" is often compared with" The Passion of Joan of Arc"( 1928) by Carl Theodor Dreyer. Bresson compared that film unfavorably with his own, expressing his dislike of the actors'" grotesque buffooneries" in Dreyer's film.
