Join us for a screening of French romantic drama, Portrait of Lady on Fire, written and directed by Céline Sciamma.
Set in 18th century France, the film tells the story of a brief affair between two young women: an aristocrat and a painter who's been commissioned to paint her portrait. As their bond intensifies, intimacy and attraction grow, with the portrait soon becoming a collaborative act of and testament to their love, in a society which prohibits and vilifies it. The subtle act of looking is transformed into a dangerous, engrossing thrill, crafted by breath-taking and elegant performances from the two leading women.
Winner of a coveted Cannes prize and one of the best reviewed films of 2019, Portrait of a Lady on Fire solidifies Céline Sciamma as one of the most exciting filmmakers working in the world today.
