SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE, the director C\u00e9line Sciamma tells the tale of a love affair between a painter and her model in the late 18th century. The images she uses could themselves be paintings. Sciamma puts the female gaze in the foreground, creating a powerful picture of lesbian desire and depicting the situation of women at the time. The multi-faceted screenplay was awarded a prize at Cannes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

France, 1770. The Paris-based painter Marianne travels to a remote island in Brittany. She has been commissioned to paint the portrait of the young lady H\u00e9lo\u00efse, who has just left a convent school and is due to be married. She refuses to sit for the portrait because she does not want to marry. Marianne spends the days with H\u00e9lo\u00efse, observing her and painting her from memory in the evening. An irresistible attraction slowly grows from the penetrating glances between them \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
