Joan

This famous story occurred almost 600 years ago. France was at war with England, and one day, an 18-year-old girl named Joan, showing amazing courage, freed the city of Orleans. For this heroism, she was nicknamed the Maid of Orleans.
Two years later, Joan of Arc was accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake on May 30, 1431.
Over the centuries, this story has been filled with many myths and fabrications. Today we offer you a new version. Some may find it very incredible and far from reality, but considering the amazing manifestations of modern society, we believe that it also has the right to life.
It can be confidently said that viewers, whose names will lead to a traditional interpretation of 15th-century French history, are in for a big surprise, but since it turns out that the basis of the film is a comedy of the same name by the famous director and playwright Ara Yernjakyan, everything falls into place.
“Joan” is the most chauvinistic comedy of Armenian cinema, openly telling about the moral character of Armenia, which is higher than the value systems of many emerging European nations.
The film is a unique advertisement for the Armenian man, who, unfortunately, is gradually disappearing like a dinosaur.
And this is a threat not only to Armenia but also to the entire world.
From June 11 to July 1, 2014, the shooting of the feature film “Joan” took place.
February 26, 2015 – The premiere of the feature film comedy “Joan” took place in the “Big Hall” of the “Moscow” cinema.
…More than 600 years ago, when France was at war with England, an event took place that is still shrouded in many uncertainties, myths, and fabrications: the story of 18-year-old Joan of Arc, whose incredible feat freed the city of Orleans, and she was proclaimed the Maid of Orleans. But then the same Joan was accused of witchcraft, and she met her death at the stake of the Inquisition.
Throughout the centuries, there have been many mentions of this story, offering different, even unimaginable versions of what happened. Therefore, this hypothesis also has a right to life, although some may find it incredible and far from reality. The fact is that here, with the characteristic lightness and playfulness of the comedy genre, but very clearly, the author addresses the extremely topical issues for us: this is the observation of the special inner worlds of both women and men, peculiar and often contradictory psychological structures.
This project stands out among domestic comedies both in terms of plot solutions and the problem it faces, when full-scale laughter also has a soulful effect and is intended, in addition to entertainment, to wake up and sober up.
