JOHANNA D'ARC OF MONGOLIA
Dir. Ulrike Ottinger, 1989.
Germany. 165 min.
Delphine Seyrigs last screen role found her fittingly re-teaming with Ulrike Ottinger for a tri-lingual adventure epic with an all woman cast. Ottinger plays with the genre trappings of train triptychs and biblical epics in her most ambitious work, in which seven female voyagers are captured by a band of Mongolian woman. Ottingers goal isnt to pit cultures against each other or exploit them, but to tell an extensively details ethnographic tale of multicultural harmony.
"A fabulous three-course blend of myth, spectacular visions of an ancient land and frisky song-and-dance. A quixotic and ebullient leap of the imagination. Breathtaking. - Judy Stone, SF Chronicle
