Now playing in the FLC Virtual Cinema, Bruno Dumont’s Joan of Arc—a New York Times Critic’s Pick —is an endlessly inventive reimagining of the story of the French heroine. To celebrate the film and continue our series of online community conversations, we asked movie lovers on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to tell us about their favorite non-traditional biopics. Featuring Todd Haynes’s I’m Not There, Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ, Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz, Hayao Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises, and more, these stories show how directors can inventively retell history with a unique vision. Thanks to everyone who joined the conversation!
