Jeannette

Bruno Dumont / FR, 2017 / 105 min.

The year is 1425, the Hundred Years’ War is raging and the English are lording it over the French. Jeannette is only eight years old and already she feels a burning desire to liberate her country. Jeannette will one day grow up to become Joan of Arc. Director Bruno Dumont shows her early years as a young girl tending sheep in a sparkling, punky musical set in the dunes of northern France.
