Portrait of a Lady on Fire

This week we’re lighting a candle for Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Céline Sciamma’s aching study of an artist, her subject, and the few stolen days they have to look at each other. A portrait commission on the Brittany coast becomes something neither woman can name until it’s already ending — and we get into why a dog-eared page 28 might be one of the most quietly devastating love letters in film.
