Every shot in "Portrait de la jeune fille en feu" can be freeze-framed, embedded in any art gallery, and the air is full of forbidden desires. With the superb interpretation of the two protagonists, the love story of 18th century France bears almost all the signs of success. For the audience, this work is so outstanding. Adèle Haenel brought a fascinating performance in the film. This hot, unspoken attraction gradually heats up in the process of watching the movie. Under the professional operation of Céline Sciamma, this power becomes very fascinating. The director uses a female gaze instead of a male to portray lesbian emotions. Her shots are intimate and ambiguous

Portrait of a Lady on Fire quotes
-
Marianne: I thought you had been scared off.
Héloïse: You were right. I am scared. Do all lovers feel they're inventing something? I know the gestures. I imagined it all, waiting for you.
Marianne: You dreamt of me?
Héloïse: No. I thought of you.
-
Héloïse: This time, I like it.
Marianne: Perhaps because I know you better.
Héloïse: Perhaps I've changed.
Marianne: Perhaps.
Héloïse: You didn't destroy the last one for me. You did it for you.
Marianne: I'd like to destroy this one too.
Héloïse: Why?
Marianne: Through it, I give you to another.
Héloïse: It's terrible. Now you possess me a little, you bear me a grudge.
Marianne: I don't.
Héloïse: You do. You know you do. You're not on my side now. You blame me for what comes next. My marriage. You don't support me.
Marianne: You're right.
Héloïse: Go on. Say what burdens your heart. I believed you braver.
Marianne: I believed you braver too.
Héloïse: That's it then. You find me docile. Worse... You imagine I'm collusive. You imagine my pleasure.
Marianne: It's a way of avoiding hope.
Héloïse: Imagine me happy or unhappy if that reassures you. But do not imagine me guilty. You'd prefer me to resist.
Marianne: Yes.
Héloïse: Are you asking me to? Answer me.
Marianne: No.
