MOVIE THE MESSENGER : THE STORY OF JOAN OF ARC - LUC BESSON - 1999



The Messenger portrays the story of St. Joan of Arc, the famous French war heroine of the 15th century and religious martyr, played by Milla Jovovich. The story begins with young Joan witnessing the atrocities of the English against her family, following her through her visions, to her leadership in battle, through doubt (with Dustin Hoffman playing a character credited as "The Conscience"), and finally to her trial and execution.

  1. Just wondering if any sketches were made of Joan during her lifetime, to show what she looked like? Also, do any of her living descendants still reside in France in the same region?
