Céline Sciamma : 2019
Portrait de la jeune fille en feu
France, 1760. On an isolated island in Bretagne, Marianne, a painter, is commissioned to do the wedding portrait of Héloïse, a young woman who has just left the convent. Héloïse is a reluctant bride-to-be and Marianne must paint her without her knowing, whilst posing as her hired companion. She observes her by day and secretly paints her at night. Intimacy and attraction grow between the two women as they share Héloïse's first and last moments of freedom, all whilst Marianne paints the portrait that will end it all. A heartbreaking period film told with a distinctly modern feminist energy. Céline Sciamma's feature was awarded the Prix du Scénario, and the Queer Palm when it premiered in competition at Festival de Cannes 2019.
