Jean-Louis Richard in The Last Metro (1980)

Joined in this installment by other excellent French actresses, including Edith Scob, Hélène de Fougerolles, and Nathalie Richard, Bonnaire taps into her characters vulnerability as she plays out windows in the final two years of Joans life, from the battlefield victory to prison life to the stake.
