Portrait of a Lady on Fire: A Very Considered Masterpiece 🔥

Wow, well this is a masterpiece. Portrait of a Lady on Fire (Portrait de la jeune fille en feu) was written and directed by Céline Sciamma and launched in autumn of 2019. In 2022, it was voted the 30th greatest film of all time in a Sight & Sound poll.

Rightly so, but it annoys us it took so long to finally watch it. Well worth the wait as its lead actors, Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel, are outstanding and this is a love story for the ages.

The Female Gaze in Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Set in the 18th century, we find the painter Marianne (Noémie Merlant) heading to an island off Brittany. She’s commissioned to paint a portrait of gentry woman Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), whose Countess mother (Valeria Golino) needs to marry off into a rich Italian nobleman’s life.

The portrait must be very good so it convinces the man to take Héloïse’s hand in marriage.

However, the problem is Héloïse has refused to pose for any portraits. She’s depressed her life is simply about being married off to some rich bloke. To get around the refusal, Marianne is hired to surreptitiously spend time with Héloïse, memorise her features, and do the painting.

In time, the pair bond and Héloïse even agrees to pose for the portrait.

She and Marianne begin to fall in love, with the big problem being it’s 18th century France and not socially acceptable. When Héloïse’s mother must briefly leave the island, they’re able to spend five days together. But all with the knowledge they’ll be parted from each other forever once the Countess returns.

Of which, much has been written elsewhere online about the female gaze. The two lead characters have agency, but are ultimately restrained by tedious social conventions (sadly, to devastating effect).

We’re not adding in any scenes to this review, but we’re going to going to highlight how stunning the film is thanks to cinematography by Claire Mathon.

Now, we’re sure some types watched the film in 2019 and found it “boring” or whatever as there aren’t car chases and explosions. But in terms of a slow burner tragic love story, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a modern classic.

Everything about it is perfect from start to finish, which is rare in any form of culture.

Alongside the brilliant performances and excellent script, the little details make it stand out. We didn’t notice until after the film, but there’s almost no music at all. There’s a segment from a single written for the production called La Jeune Fille en Feu, which is a capella. Plus, twice Summer from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is used in the film (the second time to devastating effect).

The frequent peace and quiet lends itself to the conclusion of the narrative. Thinking of other modern classics, Portrait of a Lady on Fire’s ending is as emotionally devastating as the finale to Charlotte Well’s Aftersun (2022). Wherever we go online to look at feedback from film fans, the discussion point is all about director Céline Sciamma’s ending.

It’s an incredible demonstration of Adèle Haenel’s acting abilities and is a closing scene for the ages. Sadly, Haenel retired from the film industry in 2023 as a protest against ingrained sexism and patriarchy. She now works in theatre.

And that does, abruptly, cut back to the core nature of what the film is about. How ingrained sexism in society prevents two people from leading the lives they want to lead.

Very possibly the best film of the 2010s, then, and one to watch in total concertation.

The Production of Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Off its €4.48 million budget the film made €8.48 million at the global box office. However, it was a big critical hit at Cannes Film Festival and was picked as one of three films by the French Ministry of Culture for entry to the 2020 Academy Awards.

However, it was Ladj Ly’s adaptation of Les Miserables that was ultimately submitted.

Of course, the Oscars isn’t about what is the best film in any given year, but if there was any justice Portrait of a Lady on Fire would’ve swept the board and won everything. The Women Film Critics Circle awarded it a bunch of gongs, though, and it won the Queer Palm award at Cannes.

Plus, our favourite film critic (Dr. Mark Kermode) had this to say.

The film was shot across October and November 2018 with everything wrapped up in 38 days. The commune of Saint-Pierre-Quiberon in Brittany was used for external shots, with a château in La Chapelle-Gauthier in Seine-et-Marne for the indoor shots.

Saint-Pierre-Quibero is classically French in every single way. Very peaceful looking and sleepy, in that quaint French way where it feels like no one actually lives there (or they’re just hiding from you).

Anyway, seven years after its release and the film is now considered an outright classic. Certainly, it’s one of the best films we’ve seen this century and we can highly recommend you indulge in its luxuries.

@ChrisMayLA6 Thanks! Artist and work totally new to me:)

Ah, yes, the groundbreaking revelation that women might—gasp—have different opinions than men about what looks good. 🙄 The Female Gaze boldly goes where no one has gone before: into the shockingly mundane realm of personal preference. 😂💁‍♀️ Thanks for the mind-blowing insight, Mary!

Als Fotograf mit einem zugegeben ziemlichen "Male Gaze" finde ich die Folge "Was ist der Female Gaze" mit der Fotografin Stephie Braun sehr interessant.
Naheliegend, was man mit den Begriffen assoziiert. Das "Model" (G-Spot-Host Stefanie Giesinger) und die Fotografien unterhalten sich nun etwas tiefergehender über den (Business)Alltag aus weiblicher Sicht.

Ich habe über diesen schönen kleinen Essay von Emily LaBarge im @lrb die Photographin #HannahStarkey kennen gelernt & habe ihr dann bissle hinterher gegooglet. Starkey fotografiert ausschließlich Frauen und Mädchen — und das gleichzeitig sehr artifiziell und den Fotografierten zugewandt. #femalegaze

Envie de voir autre chose en cinéma ? Voilà une liste de films *à la fois* :

☑️ réalisés ou coréalisés par une femme
☑️ écrits ou coécrits par une femme
☑️ joués par une femme en rôle principal, second rôle principal, ou bien où une femme est le sujet du film https://letterboxd.com/meagan/list/stuff-by-women-about-women/

C'est plus large que la liste d'Iris Brey sur le regard féminin, et y'a plus de diversité dans la sélection.

@hollie @s1m0n4
There are fabulous horror shows, including #Happiness, #SweetHome, and #GyeongseongCreatures (which I haven't yet seen but it's very popular).
Fantasy includes #TaleOfTheNineTailed
Also, a lot of amazing historical fiction, but it's Korean history, which is not so familiar to me. Many different ages of history are represented.
Oh, and romantic comedy!! SO many, and almost always with the #FemaleGaze! I never really knew that male beauty was a thing but I sure do now!

A few douyins about Love and Deepspace ended up on tumblr, making me raise my eyebrows. So I looked up a ~trailer on YouTube. Friends, my eyebrows have reached orbit, but I get it - and I'm impressed by the game makers.

Quelques pensées sur mon expérience au Eras Tour: le consumérisme au service du female gaze? 🎵 🌈 ✨

On performe une féminité qui, loin des codes et des injonctions à ne pas faire trop de bruit, à ne pas se faire remarquer, est libre de s’exprimer à l’abri du regard des hommes, dans un espace protégé, où pour une fois il est clair que cette performance n’est pas destinée aux hommes, mais aux autres fans. Pour une fois, on n’a pas à avoir peur qu’on nous accuse d’en faire trop, ou qu’un homme pense que notre tenue est un signe que l’on veut attirer son attention.

Best of "female gaze"

Des films faits par des femmes, et développant une manière de voir différente de celle dont on nous abreuve depuis l'enfance (films de mecs blancs cis csp+), ça vous dit ?

Une petite liste non exhaustive, validée by myself, que je complèterai au fil du temps et des visionnages :

I can definitely see that most #kdrama is written and produced very much with the #FemaleGaze in mind and I'm telling single friends that they should use most kdrama leads as a template for men that they date. Nothing wrong with being rich and handsome but the thing that utterly melts my heart is how THOUGHTFUL most of them are, not just towards their beloved but also towards grandparents, younger siblings, and their coworkers!

J'ai enfin terminé d'intégrer sur IMDB la liste des films qui expriment un regard féminin selon Iris Brey https://www.imdb.com/list/ls561867067/

Et j'en ai rajouté quelques uns qui sont souvent plus récents et qui me semblent rentrer dans ses critères. #cinema #femaleGaze #feminisme

Ich bin nicht so Fan von Gender Swapping von klassischen Frauen objektivierenden Kunstgenres mit Männern, aber was die Künstlerin Hani Hape hier zu ihrem Projekt des Reverse Engineering von Helmut Newtons Aktfotos erzählt, ist sehr interessant. ZB. das mit den Turnschuhen.
