Movie- Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Director- Celine Sciamma
Genre- Drama
What a sensual and beautiful movie about love and longing. Breath-taking locations and superb emotions of the lead characters. Loved this one.It was wonderful to see the different nuances of portraiture. Do watch this beautiful movie. After all, it's pride month and love is love.
It is a delicate drama that flourishes through the liberating power of art, where a hopeful yet consuming love affair sparks between two young women amid patriarchal customs, and stays concealed in their hearts both because of and in spite of it.
It’s not the secret bedroom trysts that Sciamma’s film renders the most erotic. It’s the suggestive longing, the camera’s respectful caressing of the skin, the studious stares that the two women get locked in that prove to be the most rousing. These gazes—first, exchanged out of obligation, then, cherished more and more—are stirring, simply because the lovers-to-be have no choice but to dwell in their private safety when any kind of sexual release seems out of the question for them.
