Our take

Transporting the tale of Joan of Arc to the walls of a mental ward, Dania Reymond’s daring short hints at the patriarchal surveillance of female bodies throughout history. As characters speak directly to the camera, viewers are invited to take the role of both the interrogator and the interrogated.
