Invites you to examine the leads (their conversations, their faces in profile, their bodies in silhouette, their glances) just as carefully as the film itself looks at the paintings in it. This effect is so strong that when they are describing each other's mannerisms I felt as if I already knew the answers just as they did. Then it shows those last two absolute gut punches of final scenes. And then it stops. Or does it? Damn.

This is an undoubtedly beautiful film. Everything about it shows the filmmaker's passion for the craft and love for her characters. I just didn't believe the conflict in the third act. It floated to the top, felt unmotivated, and went away in two scenes.

Expecting a combination of 'Persona' and 'La Belle Noiseuse' (perhaps unfairly), I was somewhat disappointed. The scenery is amazing (wonderfully captured by Claire Mathon) and the performances, particularly from the two leads, are powerful but cannot save the film from some clunky moments (the whole premise of the film as a flashback and the forced sense of closure with the page number of the book painted in the picture). The depiction of the painting process also lacked authenticity.

Arty film about art. Has a woman smoking a pipe, naked in front of a fire, in the first 5 minutes. Verdant armpit hair thru out. IE. This could not be more French! \|\| Exceedingly well shot & acted \| Romantic & bitter-sweet \| Final moment, lost in the orchestra, is so beautifully moving \| Still overall, don’t really get what the fuss is about. Feel that European cinema probably produces 10 films like this every year \| Not bad, not at all, but why all the critical rapture??

Low-key, intensely claustrophobic love story; while the generally austere and hot-house emotions never really erupt until the devastating finale (which also leaves the film somewhat unsatisfying), this portrait of a Love That Dare Not Speak It's Name is engaging for its performances, and much of the interesting anachronisms on display, in both the set and costume designs of its characters - while it never "looks" like the 1700s, it's never less than convincing in evoking its time and place.

Now, folks, have you heard about this new French movie? It's called Portrait of a Lady on Fire and it is getting rave reviews. Yeah, yeah -- well, get this -- it has been announced that it's getting remade for American audiences. Hm, the title will be -- Portrait of a Man Eating a Corn Dog.

Beautiful. I was thrown that after developing an intricate, delicate, curious relationship for 70 minutes - we just kinda cannonball into this steamy, lusty chapter. Pacing fell for me after that point, but yikes, there is some really great stuff here.
