"Have you presented Joan trough the lens of sainthood?I show her as she portrays herself.I want to insist on the fact that in this film I have rejected uncertainy in favour of keeping only what is known.I'm thinking now of the last moments,when the minutes of the trial stop and we have to resort to the testimony of witnesses at the rehabiliation trial.These testimonies don't always match up.For example,one of the witnesses says that Joan took up dressing like a man again,after agreeing to stop,in order to protect herself from English soldiers;another,her confessor,insist that it was the English who hid her dress in a bag to force her back into men's clothes.These are all people of faith who had been in close contact with her.And the question of men's clothing is not unimportent."
