Portrait of a Lady on Fire
(Pyramide Films)Directed by Céline Sciammam, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is queer cinema history in the making – a sapphic masterpiece of the modern age. The story takes place in late 18th century France, and revolves around an artist named Marianne who is hired to paint the portrait of Héloïse, a noblewoman who is soon to be married of to an Italian aristocrat. While some might say Héloïse is living the dream, it soon becomes apparent that her impending betrothal is indeed a nightmare. Héloïse’s heart isn’t in it, because her heart belongs to Marianne. As it turns out, staring at someone beautiful who is also staring at you for hours on end makes one fall in love quick. Over the course of the slowest of slowburn romances, Héloïse and Marianne’s devotion goes from matchstick to forest fire bright. But despite the heat of their ardor, it isn’t enough to burn away the social constraints that women, especially queer women, faced at the time. Heart warming and heart wrenching, Portrait of a Lady on Fire will leave your soul singed.
