A portrait of a burning woman, three women are one story, regardless of their status, they are independent and strong, and encourage each other. Even in the strict 18th century France, there is still equality and love. There are almost no male shots in the film, but patriarchy and male power can be suppressed everywhere. In those days, women wore tights, just like knights wearing armor, and it was impossible to be free and light.
In the film, the young female painter Marian wears a red dress, and the rich lady Eloise wears a monastery dark blue robe or an elegant green dress, which is fiery, shackles, brave, and calm. When the two are painting and being painted, they are familiar with each other's expressions and movements when they are nervous, embarrassed, and caring. When Eloise said, "While you're looking at the person in the picture, who am I looking at?", it was as if he was suddenly hit. Do not observe a person lightly, because it is too easy to fall in love with her. Marianne also said to Eloise, "Remember when you asked me if I knew what it was like to love? I said yes, and it was never in the past". Finally, the portraits of burning women, who make a fiery romantic "Poet's Choice", are etched in each other's most cherished memories.
The light, shadow, and lens of the film have the artistic quality of oil painting, there will be a kind of freeze-frame of the person in the painting, and it has the vitality of the film, like being still there, but can read the meaning in the painting. During the day it is the water lilies in Monet's pond, and at night it is the fantasy written by Cezanne. The close-ups of countless paintings constitute the light and shadow of Caravaggio, which is very beautiful.
