Portrait of a Lady on Fire

You will never forget this movie

In French, the title is “Portrait de LA jeune fille en feu” which means “portrait of THE lady on fire”. For it to be “a lady” the French title should’ve been “portrait d’une jeune fille en feu”. Subtle but changes everything, Heloise isn’t just any woman on fire, she’s THE woman.

i’m devastated. beautifully done movie. I’ve been avoiding this one for a while cause I knew it would fuck me up. the longing looks were well done, I felt them so deeply. the portrait of her with her kid while holding open page 28 almost made me bawl. the closing scene was crazy.

And they were equals. 🚶🏻‍♀️

the end shattered me

Inscrit dans les étoiles Écrit dans le sang Entrelacé dans le tissu de nos âmes Des collines de l'Himalaya Au mont Olympe J'irai n'importe où pour toi Tant que je respirerai Je t'aimerai toujours
Même depuis l'au-delà Je te désirerai, je te chercherai
