Favorites : The Messenger - The Story of Joan of Arc (1999)

By the time 1999 rolled around, Luc Besson was already a legend in my book.  I’d yet to see Le Femme Nikita, but Leon the Professional and The Fifth Element were arguable classics that I would definitely go to bat for.  In my mind, however, as talented as Besson was, I didn’t think he was the kind of director that could tell a tale based on history.  All of that got thrown out the window once The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc hit the scene.

In the year 1420, France and England find themselves at an impasse due to the concurrent deaths of both kings, leaving a power vacuum and civil unrest that leads to war between the two nations.  Joan (Milla Jovovich), orphaned when English soldiers kill her family and destroy her town, finds herself torn apart due to her religious devotion and holy visions.  Once old enough, Joan seeks an audience with Dauphin Charles VII (John Malkovich), the next in line to be King of France, with a religious charge.  Joan claims that God called to her to convince the Dauphin to provide her with an army that will lead France to victory.  Desperate, and at the behest of his mother Yolande of Aragon (Faye Dunaway), the Dauphin agrees.  Joan fights dutifully and with full belief in her vision, eventually leading Charles VII to a successful seat on the throne, but Joan finds that her troubles are just beginning.

Using the story of Joan of Arc for this highly stylized film creates a historical drama with all of the tools used by suspense films.  In looks, the movie is a period piece, but it feels extremely contemporary, even 20 years after release.  With Joan’s story being rooted so heavily in faith and religion, Besson shows these aspects deep respect without falling into the realms of loftiness or being preachy (no pun intended), instead using the focus on deep faith and belief as the driving force of the narrative.  Though a completely different story, The Messenger feels like a contemporary equal to The Last Temptation of Christ in terms of the way it examines faith and judgement by the unfaithful.  Joan’s faith is examined deeply on both sides... the warrior given a purpose by God versus a woman with a God complex looking to exert her will.  Joan’s infamous trial of faith by the English Ecclesiastical courts is given all of the gravitas and attention it deserves for its pure absurdity.  

The tale presented is (relatively) historically accurate, but somehow Besson manages to inject humorous and grounded moments within the film without undercutting the respect the film deserves.  The dream sequences and visions used to present Joan’s charge are striking and moving.  The concepts of faith, royalty and combat are all given equal examination, as all three aspects were key to the shaping of Europe at the time.  Joan being a woman is surprisingly not the major point of conflict within the film, as there are numerous bigger fish to fry, and Charles VII ultimately used her as a means to an end.  In the end, glory escapes all involved... Joan’s faith is questioned even in victory (and ultimately becomes her downfall), the horrors of war are shown, and the corruption of royalty is obviously the root cause of it all.

The set design and costuming in this film is top notch, from the peasant level to the royals, and all aspects in-between.  The camerawork is extremely dynamic, and in combination with the editing, the energy and emotional levels are kicked into high gear.  The score is amazing, including the use of synthesizers buried in the mix to emulate the voice of God.  The battle scenes are vivid and striking, capturing the fullness of the fury and madness of Medieval warfare.

Milla Jovovich portrays the steadfast and undying faith of Joan of Arc to the letter, at times letting her fanaticism well up in her eyes in a way that hits you dead in the soul.  John Malkovich was tailor-made to play Charles VII, as his pre-appointment timidness is put to the side by his post-appointment arrogance beautifully.  Faye Dunaway plays the wise voice of reason in the world of royal folly, and she completely pulls off what appears to be the most uncomfortable headdress in the world.  Dustin Hoffman invokes the spirit of the trickster while bringing an otherworldly presence to his performance, wrapping it all in an eerie stillness.  Desmond Harrington exudes devotion and honor in his role, while letting humility be his defining trait.  Tcheky Karyo’s cockiness and confidence fits him well as lead of the French army.  Vincent Cassel and Richard Ridings stand out as French soldiers, while Andrew Birkin is equally impressive as an English one.  The numerous and plentiful cast is strong from lead to background.

It’s been a while since Luc Besson released a film that hit me like the first five he produced, but for what it’s worth, The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc was a great capstone for that run.  For a historical drama, it is highly entertaining, and the replay value is sky high.

Nova XMAS Comic 2022   Enjoy!

[lumberjackloverboy-moved]

ive been on T for 5.5 years and i just asked my eye doctor abt this bc i havent been able to cry and my eyes have been SUPER dry. in a lot of people (cis guys, trans guys, and menopausal cis women), T can produce more oils that clog your tear ducts. she told me to use a warm compress on my eyes 5-10 mins a day and its helped so much. im a bitch who loves crying so i figured I'd pass this on 👀

YO EYE OIL BROS i have eyeball oil problems too. (gross eye stuff tw) according to my eye doctor, it is ‘thick as toothpaste’ and clogs up the ducts around the lashline. it’s super gross and hurts/itches aaaall the time and my eyes sometimes get stuck shut and i get constant growths on and near my eyelids because of it. anti fun. basically, eyeballs are weird and fucked up
