What is Lancelot Du Lac / The Trial of Joan of Arc about?

LANCELOT DU LAC (LANCELOT OF THE LAKE), 1974, 85 min. Director Robert Bresson predictably ignores the pageantry, magic and romance of the quest for the Holy Grail, concentrating instead on the demise of the chivalric codes and on the canonic knights’ spiritual anguish as they return “without the Grail, which is to say the absolute, God.” In French with English subtitles. 50th Anniversary! THE TRIAL OF JOAN OF ARC (PROCÈS DE JEANNE D'ARC), 1962, 65 min. Bresson’s sparest and most inexorable film is taken entirely from the official transcripts of the trial of Joan of Arc - whom the director called “the most extraordinary person who ever lived."
