Portrait of a Lady on Fire
LOVES ME, LOVES ME NOT.
Set in 18th-century Brittany, PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE follows Marianne (Noémie Merlant), an artist commissioned by an Italian noblewoman (Valeria Golino) to paint a portrait of her reclusive daughter Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), who is soon to be married. The peculiar conditions of this assignment, however, require that Marianne never announce to Héloïse the objective of her visit. Instead, Marianne is to escort Héloïse on walks, posing as a hired companion while closely observing her subject so as to render her likeness on canvas in secret. A romance soon blossoms between the painter and her subject.
French language, English subtitles.
