Drama A part of Joan of Arc's life. At the beginning, Jeanne (Joan) has already left Domremy, she is trying to convince a captain to escort her to the Dauphin. It ends during Jeanne's first battle, at Orleans. Meanwhile, Jeanne is depicted more as a warrior than a saint (all cliches are avoided), with only her faith for strength. Sequel: "Joan the Maid II - The Prisons".

		Scott Tobias AV Club	"Brilliantly conceived and meticulously crafted (...) 'Joan The Maid' is distinguished by [Bonnaire's] flesh-and-blood humanity"
		Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"Rivette is doing things, especially with landscape and period detail (...) that he's never done before"
