greatest saint of France put to death at 19

The best film is from 1962, The Trial of Joan of Arc, written and directed by Robert Bresson. It holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and contains the actual transcript of her trial, which began on January 13, 1431. The words of a simple girl are as learned as the most learned of men. A fierce warrior with a will as strong as any man, she sustained an arrow to the throat, but did she actually kill anyone? No.
