As part of my Cinema Studies course, I made this video to replicate the connection that Jean-Luc Godard drew between the character, Nana, in his film, Vivre sa Vie, 1962 and the character, Joan of Arc, in Carl Theodore Dreyer’s La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc, 1928. Both women shared the same fate of being persecuted by men and that death was their only form of deliverance. This connection can be seen in Godard’s Vivre Sa Vie’s Tableau 3: The Concierge – The Passion of Joan of Arc – A Journalist.
