All I can say about this movie is that it is beautiful. From the cinematography to the soundtrack to the acting everything about the movie is perfectly executed creating an emotionally connected experience for the viewer. If you have not yet seen this movie I recommend that you put it at the top of your to watch list because it's what I believe to be one of the best movies of 2019

I rented this because I was drawn to the picture of the girl in an old fashioned dress on fire. Then I saw all the reviews with 8-10 ratings on IMDB. So I rented it. I was bored to death & can't figure the high ratings. I do not enjoy action flicks & period dramas are my favorite genre. I thought I'd like this. I was wrong. A woman hires an artist to paint a portrait of her daughter who is about to be married. It's an arranged marriage & the portrait is to be sent to the guy to give him an idea what his future wife looks like. Her daughter isn't happy about marrying a stranger & living in a country she's never been to. She rebels by refusing to sit for the portrait. The artist is paid to go on walks with her daughter to discretely learn enough of her features to get a painting done. Mother tells her daughter she's arranged a female companion for her to go out on walks with. She is delighted & falls for it, hook, line, & sinker. The whole movie is about her walks with the portrait painter. That's all. Just their strolls on the beach & long talks where nothing happens or is said worth mentioning. The only thing I liked about this movie was the old fashioned dresses. There's nothing else to say. I would skip this one. I will never watch it again.

I really liked this film visually in terms of the scenery and the way the characters were posed in the scenes. But I was not convinced by the relationship of the main characters. I was always conscious that they were actors playing roles and I think it was the way they were placed on set to make appealing images that contributed to this. Somehow the beauty of the imagery reduced the plausibility of the action as it was too staged to seem genuine. It was like looking at carefully arranged photographs rather than watching a movie.

I've dreamt of that for years. Dying? Running. _____________________________ And so begins our introduction to the titular character and her nascent growth into being--a growth beyond the canvas, beyond the parameters of physical isolation, beyond the inescapable predicament of social and family burden. It is a taste of freedom. The beginnings of a liberating journey to find an existential peace from the inner turmoil that, as we learn early on in the film, likely took her own sister's life. Céline Sciamma's Portrait de La Jeune Fille en Feu is a remarkable film. It is Call Me By Your Name in its judgement-free paradise, palpable sexual tension, and look-into-the-flame Élio catharsis. It is The Favourite in its female-centric, lesbian-tensioned period drama with Vivaldi as a centerpiece (but with a mood far more romanced than Yorgos' unique lavish satirical darkness). It is Persona in its framing of duality and Abbas Kiarostami in its lunar pacing. It is unapologetically feminist: a love story between two souls who happen to be women on an island free of men, including but not limited to an abortion, the subsequent painting of said abortion, and the gentle caressing of armpit hair at center screen. While not entirely its own, the film is nonetheless brilliant in almost every regard. Cinematography, including framing, color palette, and the dream-like landscape, is stunning. There is a visual language of unspoken glances and facial beauty through close-ups and lighting that parallels the script and brings out the mystique of the enigmatic Héloïse. The story is unveiled so poetically, as if watching the long-restrained passion of the female artist slowly burst from the seams of her oppressive corset of objectification. '"The "muse" is this fetishized silent woman who is inspiring just because she is beautiful. One of the manifestos of the film is to get rid of this idea of the muse-which is a nice word that actually hides the participation of women in artistry." Céline Sciamma, Writer/Director The nine muses of the Greek Mythology were deities that gave artists, philosophers and individuals the necessary inspiration for creation. One of the nine muses, Calliope, had a son named Orpheus... Sciamma's thought-provoking commentary on women and art is gently told but powerfully received, and it does not go unnoticed. This film, like a majestic portrait, will remain echoing in your mind like the haunting hymnal Latin chant, "Fugere non possum": I cannot run away.

I cannot recall the last time I watched a film that had me utterly mesmerised from the very start to the very end without a single interruption. Everything about this film is so lovingly crafted, from the nuanced and commanding central performances to the cinematography and subtly woven storyline - they all combine to produce a genuine piece of cinematic art. The lighting and palette drew inspiration from 18th century paintings, there are scenes in this film that will stay with me fore some time... and the slowly building inevitable climax to the story is heart achingly gratifying. An utterly original and beautiful instant classic that somehow didn't capture the attention of the Oscars Academy!
