If you loved The Bridge of San Luis Rey, try Portrait of a Lady on Fire
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Bridge of San Luis Rey, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Portrait of a Lady on Fire is
Brittany island, winter, a lone violin. A painter works in secret, a noblewoman poses in silence, a portrait takes shape. Sciamma grounds desire in the gaze.
