Question: Do both films The Trial of Joan of Arc and After Dark, My Sweet have the directors that share the same nationality?

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> Joan of Arc is played by Florence Delay. The Trial of Joan of Arc is a 1962 French historical film directed by Robert Bresson. 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. 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. <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> Jean Poton de Xaintrailles( 1390? – 7 October 1461), a minor noble of Gascon origin, was one of the chief lieutenants of Joan of Arc. He served as master of the royal stables, as royal bailiff in Berry and as seneschal of Limousin. In 1454 he was appointed a Marshal of France. Jean Poton was a leading figure on the French side in the Hundred Years War. He fought at the battle of Verneuil in 1424. His participation, along with Joan of Arc, in the battle at Orléans in 1427 led to the end of the Siege of Orléans. He was badly wounded during this battle. He was captured at the battle of Cravant and later exchanged for John Talbot. Jean Poton fought numerous battles alongside Joan of Arc during the Loire Campaign. He remained a lifelong support for Joan of Arc. With La Hire, he even tried, albeit in vain, to rescue Joan after she was captured. Believing Joan was being held captive in Compiègne, Jean Poton captured it, only to learn that the prisoner had already been moved to Rouen. He served with Joan of Arc at the Siege of Orléans, and the battles of Jargeau, Meung- sur- Loire, Beaugency and Patay. He raised the siege of Compiègne. In the latter phase of the Hundred Years War he was active in the reconquest of Normandy and the conquest of Guyenne, often with Étienne de Vignolles, better known as La Hire, including the action at Gerbevoy. When the standing army was created in 1445, Xaintrailles was appointed to command one of the twelve companies of the new army. He died in Bordeaux without heirs and left his estate to the church. <SEP> After Dark, My Sweet is a 1990 American neo- noir film directed by James Foley and starring Jason Patric, Bruce Dern, and Rachel Ward. It is based on the 1955 Jim Thompson novel of the same name. <SEP> His 1986 film" At Close Range" was entered into the 36th Berlin International Film Festival. Other films he has directed include" Glengarry Glen Ross", based on the play of the same name by David Mamet, and" The Chamber", based on the novel of the same name by author John Grisham.
