‘Portrait of a Lady on Fire’ review: Canvas of a forbidden romance
The HinduIf one were to describe Portrait of a Lady on Fire in a very consciously poetic way then, however cheesy it may sound, it would be a cinematic painting rife with a palette full of emotions. There’s something overwhelmingly heartfelt about the love story between Heloise and Marianne, yet a certain artistic formalism and restraint which only multiplies its appeal. Portrait of a Lady on Fire Director: Celine Sciamma Starring: Noemie Merlant, Adele Haenel, Luana Bajrami, Valeria Golino Storyline: A same sex love story set in the 18th century France, between an aristocrat lady Heloise and Marianne who is commissioned to paint her portrait Run time: 120 minutes Celine Sciamma’s world is one that is entirely populated by women as well as owned by them. Portrait of a Lady on Fire is drenched in romance, in the possibilities and impossibilities, the aches and pains and the pleasures and glory of glorious love.
