Ir-romantiku u l-arti jitwaħħdu f’ Portrait of a Lady on Fire, kapolavur impressjonanti ta’ Céline Sciamma (Tomboy, Girlhood).
Fl-isfond Franċiż tat-tmiem is-seklu 18, l-artista Marianne (Noémie Merlant) tiġi kkummissjonata minn kontessa sinjura biex tpitter l-immaġini ta’ bintha, protetta imma b’ras iebsa, Héloïse (Adèle Haenel) fl-okkażjoni tat-tieġ, bit-tama li tgħinha ssib raġel sinjur li jiżżewwiġha.
Marianne, ġiet imġiegħla tpitter bil-moħbi filgħaxijiet filwaqt li tippoża bħala l-ħabiba ta’ Héloïse filgħodijiet sabiex tkun tista’ tosservha. Madanakollu, hekk kif tikber il-ħbiberija bejn daż-żewġ nisa, tikber ukoll l-intimità tagħhom li tħejji t-triq għal storja tbaqbaq ta’ mħabba sfortunata.
Xogħol epokali ta’ qsim il-qalb irrakkontat b’mod ċar minn lenti moderna femminista, Portrait of a Lady on Fire huwa l-ewwel film taħ id-direzzjoni ta’ mara li rebaħ il-Queer Palm fil-festival tal-films f’Cannes fejn rebaħ ukoll Best Screenplay.

Romance and art entwine in PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE, a sumptuous new masterpiece from Céline Sciamma (TOMBOY, GIRLHOOD).
Set in late 18th century France, painter Marianne (Noémie Merlant) is commissioned by an affluent countess to paint the wedding portrait of her sheltered but headstrong daughter Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), in the hope it will find her a wealthy husband.
While posing as her hired companion, Marianne is instructed to complete the portrait in secret, observing Héloïse by day and painting her by night. However, as the two women grow closer, their intimacy and attraction begins to blossom, paving the way for a simmering, star-crossed romance.
A heartbreaking period piece told with a distinctly modern feminist energy, PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE is the first female-directed film to win the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival, where it also won the Best Screenplay award.
