The Messenger

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (simply titled Jeanne d'Arc in French) is a French historical drama film directed by Luc Besson. The screenplay was written by Besson and Andrew Birkin, and the original music score was composed by Éric Serra.

The Messenger portrays the story of St. Joan of Arc, the famous French war heroine of the 15th century and religious martyr, played by Milla Jovovich. The story begins with young Joan witnessing the atrocities of the English against her family, following her through her visions, to her leadership in battle, through doubt (with Dustin Hoffman playing a character credited as "The Conscience"), and finally to her trial and execution.

Coincidentally, a miniseries, Joan of Arc, was made for television at the same time as Besson's film. The films theme song is entitled "Tell Me" and is sung by Jovovich who played the title character
