Personally, I think French directors are too good at filming.

The grasp of light and shadow, the delicate skin texture, the golden fluff, the sound of breathing entangles the throbbing in the heart, the emotions are suppressed but vivid

The beauty of the picture is fascinating. When they were looking for medicinal herbs in the fields, they once thought it was Monet's oil painting.

Contrasting red and green dress, black and gold

I am very curious about a few of the shots. Why is the lady so obsessed with seeing women giving birth or abortion? And the shot of the artist painting a portrait of himself, staring out of a woman's pussy is also a woman?

Portrait of a Lady on Fire 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.
