Rating: B- --
Dumont's early work suggested a director who wanted to be the heir to Robert Bresson and the aforementioned Dreyer, titans of formal discipline and transcendent doubt. Now he wants to be Andy Kaufman.

"Jeannette" throws the modern back at the medieval, making no distinction between religious ecstasy and that experienced in certain contemporary contexts of music and ritual.

New York Times
Along with Johnnie To's Office (2015) and Sion Sono's Tokyo Tribe (2014), Dumont has made one of the most unusual, singular, and best musicals in recent years.

Bruno Dumont's Jeannette: The Childhood of Joan of Arc [is] instantly stimulating: The story of France's patron saint who was martyred during the Hundred Years' War is told through the joyful noise of a heavy-metal musical.

Description by OLDIES.com:
France, 1425. In the midst of the Hundred Years' War, the young Jeannette, at the still tender age of 8, looks after her sheep in the small village of Domremy. One day, she tells her friend Hauviette how she cannot bear to see the suffering caused by the English. Carried by her faith, she will become Joan of Arc.
