«Portrait de la jeune fille en feu»: Eurydice in abyss

By Fanny Agostino · September 25, 2019

Céline Sciamma's latest film, which won an award at Cannes for its screenplay, depicts the encounter and burgeoning passion between two 19th-century women. The director of Tomboy sets her story ablaze with an impressive, impressionistic plot about a painter who has to conceal from her model the fact that she has been commissioned to paint her portrait on canvas. An apt reflection on love and memory through the prism of the image.
