      quiet burning

      I didn't know at first that this was a movie about the same sex theme, but I just saw Amway on the Internet and happened to be able to watch this movie, and I was also attracted by its name "Portrait of a Burning Woman", there is a quiet great feeling , so at first I thought it was a female resistance theme, which was contrary to my imagination. Perhaps because of blindly watching the movie, I slowly discovered that their love was budding, they were overwhelmed, they retreated, they tested...

      [Eurydice also "turned back"] Some thoughts on the kissing scene by the sea

      Looking back at the tearful kiss between Eloise and Marianne on the beach repeatedly, I found a few small details:

      1. The moment Marian hugged Eloise from behind, Eloise took a light breath on her lower lip. In the past, Marian saw through her that "biting her lip" meant "embarrassment". The emotion contained in the action here should be It was more of an "unexpected surprise". After all, the two had just "argued" upstairs. Eloise went to the beach, expecting Marianne to find her, and...

      "If we meet again, how will I congratulate you? With tears, with silence."

      Three women, an island with few male characters. I have seen some lesbian movies before, but I always feel that it is a little less interesting than gay movies. But this is definitely a really good lesbian movie. If I had to describe the feelings between these two women in one word, it would be "delicate". The erotic performance in the first half is really in place. Although there is no physical contact in the part of playing the piano, the relative eyes of the two heroines are enough to tug...

      The best presentation of female eroticism on the big screen - the first immature small film review

      Of the Lara movies I've watched over the years, whether it's "Adele's Life", "Carol" or "Miss", I always feel that something is missing after watching it. Especially the critically acclaimed "The Life of Adele", I watched it twice, and every time I watched it, I had to rationalize all the large and long sex scenes in this movie. I've never felt that women's eroticism should be hidden on the big screen, but I've always felt that it shouldn't be in this way. It's not that sex between women...

      When you miss me, turn the book to page 28

      After thinking about it, I felt that I should write something for "Portrait of a Burning Woman".

      I have to say, this is one of the few movies I have seen in recent years that is as strong as a spirit. This is a movie that has life and can breathe but can make the viewer's heart stop and can't breathe. I really I admire the screenwriter and director of this film, the intelligent woman, Celine Sciamma.

      The story takes place in France in the eighteenth century. Marianne, a talented...

      Sophistication, elegance, and classic beauty. Under the double shackles of time and space, the two heroines love each other cautiously and passionately, both forbearing tenderness and breaking the shore. The scene of Adele's dark blue skirt burning quietly in the dark is so beautiful. I want to say that the most beautiful scene in this year's gay movie is it! (From the script to the ending scene is really...

      Vivaldi's musical bows brushed, brushes layered, eyes touched skin, hands went deep; first lines, then colors, everything slowly took shape: call me with your face. Delayed smile. Terrier delay. The prophecy of your development is a real delay. If existence is fleeting, we have to prolong the moment when Orpheus bids farewell to Eurydice, and "turn to me" on the road of Faust of love is equivalent to "that's beautiful", the password for eternity to stop. The goodbye was delayed in the gasp of...

      The more slow and slow, the wind is light and the clouds are light, the hotter, the thicker it is. A simple and clear story, with emotional thoughts and the way of presentation by the director, makes the work...

      Beauty is beauty, without soul. If it weren't for the 28 pages and the last four minutes of staring at each other, this film would be very boring. Even with a large oil painting ppt, the best lily film in my heart is none other than Adele. It is the most touching part of love, and it is always better to be bored than to be...

    Movie plot

    Lois is the daughter of the French countess. After her sister died, she was taken home from the monastery. Lois was told indifferently to marry a Milanese man he had never met. This is a mutually beneficial marriage because the suitors will provide a lot of the funds they need. To commemorate this wedding, the countess invited an artist Mary to paint a portrait of her daughter. Mary was by Lois's side because her mother suspected that...

    Evaluation action

    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...

    Movie quotes

    • Marianne: I can't make you smile. I feel I do it and then it vanishes.

      Héloïse: Anger always comes to the fore.

      Marianne: Definitely with you. I didn't mean to hurt you.

      Héloïse: You haven't hurt me.

      Marianne: I have, I can tell. When you're moved, you do this with your hand.

      Héloïse: Really?

      Marianne: Yes. And when you're embarrassed, you bite your lips. And when you're annoyed, you don't blink.

      Héloïse: You know it all.

      Marianne: Forgive me, I'd hate to be in your place.

      Héloïse: We're in the same place. Exactly the same place. Come here. Come. Step closer. Look. If you look at me, who do I look at? When you don't know what to say, you touch your forehead. When you lose control, you raise your eyebrows. And when you're troubled, you breathe through your mouth.

    • 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.
