About The Event
'Absolutely no men in sight. Just people vibing.'
- Letterboxd review
Passion quietly brews between an artist and her subject until together they create a space in which it can briefly flourish, in this sumptuous 18th century romance from one of contemporary French cinema's most acclaimed auteurs. Summoned to an isolated seaside estate on a secret assignment, Marianne must find a way to furtively paint a wedding portrait of Héloïse, who is resisting chattel marriage. What unfolds is an exchange of sustained gazes in which the two women come to know each other's gestures, expressions, and bodies with rapturous intimacy, ultimately forging a subversive creative collaboration as well as a delirious romance. Charged with a yearning that almost transcends time and space, Portrait of a Lady on Fire mines the emotional and artistic possibilities that emerge when women can freely live together and see one another in a world without men.
