We wanted to share the intimacy of these women and their experiences. They haven’t been represented. I haven’t seen very many abortion scenes, even in contemporary films. When an image is missing from the past, it definitely belongs to now.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire was voted the 30th greatest film of all time in the Sight & Sound 2022 critics’ poll. [13] [14] [15] It has also been considered to be one of the best films of the 2010s and of the 21st century. [16] [17] Plot [ edit ] I just saw this movie in France, so with neither dubbing nor subtitles. I don't know how it will work with either of them. I assumed this love story wasn't going to have a happy ending given the confines of its era, but I want every reader to know that Portrait of a Lady on Fire just absolutely crushes its ending. You may expect it coming, in a general sense, but the resolution to this love story floored me. There are two consecutive scenes that each elicit different emotions. The first is a winsome feeling of being remembered, of having a sense of permanence after the fact, of a moment in time that will long be fondly recalled and celebrated for its fleeting perfection and lifelong significance. Then the next scene involves a payoff of great empathy that almost brought tears to my eyes. It delivers a long-desired payoff to a character's lifelong request, and the camera simply holds for over a minute while we watch the indescribable impression this woman is experiencing. It's so joyous, so heartfelt, and so luxuriously earned that I felt like my heart was going to burst. The fact that both of these emotional conclusions happen without a single word being uttered is even more impressive. It shows how abortion is an everyday occurrence in women’s lives. At that time women were in charge of their own health. Obstetrics are now in the hands of men. Setting it in the past offers us a view of another dynamic of power that is sometimes more equal – and that is interesting for today. A. O. Scott of The New York Times wrote that Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a "subtle and thrilling love story, at once unsentimental in its realistic assessment of women's circumstances", describing the unfolding of Marianne and Héloïse's relationship as "less a chronicle of forbidden desire than an examination of how desire works" and "the dangerous, irresistible power of looking". [40] Mark Kermode from The Observer/ The Guardian gave the film five stars and said it is "an intellectually erotic study of power and passion in which observed becomes observer, authored becomes author, returning time and again to a central question: 'If you look at me, who do I look at?', and described the unwanted pregnancy subplot as "confronting but also depicting a taboo subject and its representation, refusing to look away, finding strength in sorority." [41] In his review for Variety, Peter Debruge said about Sciamma as director and screenwriter: "Though this gorgeous, slow-burn lesbian romance works strongly enough on a surface level, one can hardly ignore the fact, as true then as it is now, that the world looks different when seen through a woman's eyes", describing the film as "rigorously scripted", and her approach "looking past surfaces in an attempt to capture deeper emotion". [42]

It’s hardly a spoiler to say that the movie pivots, even before the women’s romantic connection begins, on the relationship of the artist and the model and, in particular, on Marianne’s confession to Héloïse that she’s been painting a portrait. The result of this new understanding is a transformation of the personal and the artistic bond—and of Marianne’s art itself, which, to that point, had been mainly technical and formal. With the revelation of Marianne’s artistic purpose, Héloïse becomes her willing and involved artistic collaborator—yet their intellectual and creative collaboration does not dilute the individuality of Marianne’s artistry but, rather, heightens it. The transformation of art from an applied technique to a vital experience—and a personal passion—is the drama’s crucial turn, and it inescapably brings to mind the artistic relationship of director and actor. Sciamma brings this to the fore in an extraordinary sequence in which Héloïse challenges Marianne’s position as the observer and her own place as the observed, and which gives rise to a simply constructed yet visually intricate game of gazes and mirrors that resounds with psychological and creative implications. Like Portrait of a Woman on Fire, while the play hinges on women’s bodies, it doesn’t show too much of them. “Thank God The Welkin avoids the trap of offering [Ria] Zmitrowicz up for our gaze,” continues Maltby, before calling for more plays “about the ways women talk about our bodies; not how men observe them”.
