Harsh 4 stars. Seeing this part of the two discussing (though also flirting) about the painter and the model's regard reminded Picasso that he and his 17-year-old "female muse" met when they were at their peaks. Fuck it, 17 is never the pinnacle of a woman's life! This scene set by schiamma can be said to be a rebellion against the submissive status of women in art history, and it is also her reflection on the relationship between her and the actor (Haenel) as a director. The portrait is one of the most ambitious films I've seen recently - a female/lesbien theme. Female themes are not limited to the struggle against patriarchy, love, and identity. Women's thinking is also the world, art and so on. Schiamma makes her claim with a very full story, accurate on-camera language and high-level performance. This movie is different from the last few 'lesbien'/women's movies that are actually consuming lesbian soft porno (oui, je parle de la vie d'Adèle et mademoiselle), it makes me feel like a spring breeze and much appreciated inspired.
The reason for the minus one star is the part before the parting at the end. Although the bitterness, sadness and intimacy of the script are inevitable at this moment, the tension of the movie created before is broken at this moment, and only the narrative is completed in this part of the movie. , just serving the ending. (remaining objective)
Finally: ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! Haenel!!!!Schiamma!!!!!! Je vous aime tellement!!!!!!
