I actually found the formalism appropriate becauseVader182 wrote: ↑October 20th, 2019, 6:24 pmthis is completely lovely. found the formalism slightly stifling, but its visually amazing and daring and the final 5 minutes transmogrify the whole thing into the sublime. its an ode to love and the creative spirit and how those may be one and the same.
as far as formal "historical attitudes threatening the love of lesbians" dramas go, i liked this a lot more than Carol
and yes, "that scene" in the middle is transcendent

Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)
I found it stifling in its commitment to stillness and style to let the passions run subtle.
Only a bit, though. And yes about the visuals. The whole movie looks like painting. Called it Barry Lyndon for fervent lesbians.

Saw this last night and I loved it. It's such a beautiful looking movie with really interesting and richly drawn characters.
And can we get some appreciation for Sophie please?

Yesterday I was just thinking about how much of a masterpiece this is again, and today it got pushed back by 2 months. Broke my heart.
I've been hyping this movie up to all my friends and then it turns out it's not coming to America until Febuary smh.
One specific thing element I admired about this movie
One specific thing element I admired about this movie
Céline Sciamma: 'In France, they don’t find the film hot. They think it lacks flesh, it’s not erotic'
“It’s a very bourgeois industry. There’s resistance to radicalism, and also less youth in charge. ‘A film can be feminist?’ They don’t know this concept. They don’t read the book. They don’t even know about the fact that ‘male gaze’ exists. You can tell it’s a country where there’s a lot of sexism, and a strong culture of patriarchy.”
