Evocation, parmi une dizaine, du procès de la célèbre pucelle d'Orléans où Robert Bresson s'est servi de textes authentiques du "procès de condamnation", de dépositions et témoignages du "procès de réhabilitation". (texte officiel du distributeur)

Routine and narratively sterile, without a single interesting idea or a shred of emotion. Once Bresson drops the stylistic experiments and doesn't overwhelm the parameters, it gets pretty boring.

Grabbing the story of the most famous martyr sternly, strictly ascetically, and without the slightest inclination towards pathos was a task perfectly suited for Bresson. Unfortunately, more than thirty years earlier, Carl Theodor Dreyer had already done something similar in The Passion of Joan of Arc and the result was more thrilling, more aesthetic, better acted, and overall a class better. It's a great pity, The Trial is a filled hour-long box that its documentary lead only ties.
