Joan of Arc (French: Jeanne d'Arc) is a 1900 French silent film directed by Georges Méliès, based on the life of Joan of Arc.

Synopsis

In the village of Domrémy, the young Joan is visited by Saint Michael, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret, who exhort her to fight for her country. Her father Jacques d'Arc, mother Isabelle Romée, and uncle beg her to stay at home, but she leaves them and travels to Vaucouleurs, where she meets with the governor, Captain Robert de Baudricourt. The dissipated Baudricourt initially scorns Joan's ideals, but her zeal eventually wins him over, and he gives her authority to lead French soldiers. Joan and her army lead a triumphal procession into Orléans, followed by a large crowd. Then, in Reims Cathedral, Charles VII is crowned King of France.

Sorti en 1899, c'est-à-dire seulement 5 ans après les débuts de l'affaire Dreyfus dans un contexte politique où la France est divisée en 2 camps, ce film ouvertement dreyfusard reconstitue de manière chronologique et séquentiellement les faits de l'époque. Après le jugement militaire, les images muettes montrent Dreyfus au bagne où il est attaché à son lit la nuit. Puis on voit le suicide du colonel Henry suivi du retour en France de Dreyfus par une nuit d'orage.

Un vieil homme juif erre dans la campagne ; des spectres du Christ portant la croix apparaissent dans le ciel. Il en a d’abord peur puis essaie de les poursuivre, lui et les gens qui l’entourent. Le diable ensuite apparaît et le frappe avant de s’enfuir. Un Christ ailé enfin apparaît. Suit une deuxième scène où se déroule un orage, symbole de la colère de Dieu.
