it is honestly so, so incredibly touching that the final lines in einhorn's composition for The Passion of Joan of Arc is Jeanne's own words, harkening back to some of her greatest victories.

the way that Voices of Light generally mixes quotes from medieval persons and the bible to depict support or condemnation of Jeanne is both incredibly well done and deeply fascinating, but the way it incorporates her own quotes about herself and her mission is really beautiful. the way that they're used in various scenes -- showing her both in her moments of bravery and anguish --literally has me sobbing

#being hit with that “et cela est révélé par la Pucelle”#as the music swells and the movie closes is such a gut punch #jesus christ #honestly i feel like i can talk for days about the text used for the lyrics its so fascinating #its so cool to see Jeanne's contemporaries & supporters like de Pizan implemented in the various songs #but it was legit surprising to see how other womens (also murdered by the church officially for heresy #like Marguerite Porete & Na Prous Boneta) writings #- and quotes was so prominent within the lyrics #the way which some of the songs are just overwhelmingly medieval misogynistic rants #or how the choir in Interrogation constantly screams Hommasse (derogatory term for 'masculine woman') aimed at Jeanne --#-- while the other voices praising her courage is by comparison drowned out is just fucking sublime #the movie is great on its own ofc but it's really elevated by Voices of Light and the additional depth and clear respect it shows #to the subjects and the real people involved in these events #rest in peace Jeanne‚ France and charles didn't deserve you #the passion of joan of arc
