Joanna d'Arc (2022) offers a raw look at Aneta, a woman caught in the complexities of life after leaving Poland. The documentary's tone is quite intimate, almost voyeuristic at times, as it navigates her struggles in running an erotic massage parlor in France. Pacing feels deliberate, allowing us to absorb her emotional turmoil, particularly her fraught relationship with her partner and the challenges of motherhood. It’s not flashy but captures the reality of her circumstances with sensitivity. The performances are naturalistic, emphasizing the weight of her decisions. There's a distinct authenticity here, a glimpse into a world often shrouded in mystery. It has a unique perspective on agency and survival, making it stand out in contemporary documentary filmmaking.
