Portrait of a Lady On Fire
Synopsis
In 18th-century France, young artist Marianne (Noémie Merlant) is commissioned to paint the wedding portrait of Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), a defiant bride-to-be who refuses to pose. Posing as a hired walking companion, Marianne secretly observes Héloïse by day and paints her by night. As the two women share an isolated coastal existence, a profound and fiery romance ignites, forcing them to fiercely cherish Héloïse’s fleeting final moments of freedom before her impending, inescapable marriage.
