Plot

At the end of the eighteenth century, Marianne, a painter, is teaching an art class in France. One of her students asks her about a painting of hers, which Marianne calls Portrait de la jeune fille en feu.

Years previously, Marianne arrives on a distant island in Brittany. She has been commissioned to paint a portrait of a young woman of the gentry named Héloïse, who is to be married off to a Milanese nobleman. Marianne is informed by Héloïse's mother, The Countess, that she has previously refused to pose for portraits, as she does not want to be married; she had been living in a convent before the suicide of her older sister necessitated her return and her betrothal. Marianne acts as Héloïse's hired companion to be able to paint her in secret and accompanies her on daily walks along the rugged coastline to memorize Héloïse's features.

Marianne finishes the portrait, but finds herself unable to betray Héloïse's trust and reveals her true reason for arriving. After Héloïse criticises the painting, which does not seem to portray her true nature, Marianne destroys the work. Héloïse's mother is shocked to hear that Héloïse is willing to pose for Marianne over the next few days, while her mother will be away on the mainland. Marianne is haunted throughout the house by visions of Héloïse in a wedding dress. One evening, they read the story of Orpheus and Eurydice and debate the true reason why Orpheus turns around to look at his wife, causing her to be returned to the underworld. The pair help Sophie, the house maid, have an abortion. Later, the three go to a bonfire gathering where women sing, during which Héloïse's dress briefly catches fire.

The next day, Marianne and Héloïse share their first kiss and make love later that night. Over the next few days, their romance grows stronger. With their affair about to be cut short by the ensuing return of The Countess, Marianne sketches a drawing of Héloïse to remember her by, and Héloïse asks Marianne to draw a sketch of herself on page 28 of her book. The Countess approves of the now completed portrait, and the next morning Marianne bids farewell. As she is about to leave the house, she hears Héloïse say, "Turn around". She turns and sees Héloïse in her wedding dress.

In the present, Marianne reveals that she saw Héloïse two more times. The first time was in the form of a portrait at an art exhibition, where Héloïse, with a child beside her, is surreptitiously holding a book showing only the edge of page 28. The second time was at a concert in Milan, where Héloïse sat in a theater balcony across from Marianne. Unobserved, Marianne watches Héloïse as she becomes overwhelmed with emotion and comes to tears while listening to the orchestra play the Presto from "Summer" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, the music that Marianne had played for her on a harpsichord years before.

Production

Principal photography began in October 2018⁸ and was completed after 38 days.⁹ Filming took place in Saint-Pierre-Quiberon in Brittany and a château in La Chapelle-Gauthier, Seine-et-Marne.¹⁰¹¹ The film was produced by Lilies Films, Arte France Cinéma, and Hold Up Films.¹²¹³

The paintings and sketches in the film were made by artist Hélène Delmaire. She painted 16 hours every day during the course of filming, basing her painting on the blocking of the scenes. Her hands were also featured in the film.¹⁴ To mark the release of the film in France, Delmaire's paintings from Portrait of a Lady on Fire were exhibited at the Galerie Joseph in Paris from 20 to 22 September 2019.¹⁵

On 22 August 2018, film distributor MK2 began the sale of international rights to the film, with Pyramide Films acquiring the distribution rights for France.¹⁶ On 10 February 2019, Curzon Artificial Eye acquired the rights for the United Kingdom, Karma Films did so for Spain, Cinéart for Benelux, and Folkets Bio for Sweden.¹⁷¹⁸ Neon and Hulu acquired the distribution rights for North America on 22 May.¹⁹²⁰

Critical response

Portrait of a Lady on Fire was the subject of broad acclaim. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 98% based on 308 reviews from critics, with an average rating of 9.00/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "A singularly rich period piece, Portrait of a Lady on Fire finds stirring, thought-provoking drama within a powerfully acted romance."²⁴ On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 95 out of 100, based on 48 critics, indicating "universal acclaim",²⁵ and has been designated a Metacritic "Must See" movie. It is the second best reviewed film of 2019.²⁶²⁷

A.O. Scott of The New York Times wrote that Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a "subtle and thrilling love story, at once unsentimental in its realistic assessment of women's circumstances", describing the unfolding of Marianne and Héloïse's relationship as "less a chronicle of forbidden desire than an examination of how desire works" and "the dangerous, irresistible power of looking".²⁸ Mark Kermode from The Observer/The Guardian gave the film five stars and said it is "an intellectually erotic study of power and passion in which observed becomes observer, authored becomes author, returning time and again to a central question: 'If you look at me, who do I look at?', and described the unwanted pregnancy subplot as "confronting but also depicting a taboo subject and its representation, refusing to look away, finding strength in sorority."²⁹ In his review for Variety, Peter Debruge said about Sciamma as director and screenwriter: "Though this gorgeous, slow-burn lesbian romance works strongly enough on a surface level, one can hardly ignore the fact, as true then as it is now, that the world looks different when seen through a woman's eyes", describing the film as "rigorously scripted", and her approach "looking past surfaces in an attempt to capture deeper emotion".³⁰

Accolades

The film was one of three shortlisted by the French Ministry of Culture to be France's submission to the 92nd Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film, along with Les Misérables and Proxima.³¹ Les Misérables was ultimately submitted.³²
