brilliant comment by noemie at the end when she talks about the first portrait as a metaphor for being stuck in a patriarchal, male gaze culture without even realizing it. but the second portrait is a collaboration and a love story which makes the art more truthful as it allows the artist to find herself and her unique voice. most films i've seen are the first portrait. and it's not just because men have made them but because they are missing the element of the second portrait; they are too busy being praised for maintaining the rules, conventions, and ideas of "patriarchally cultured" filmmaking. this film is definitely one we've been missing. which is probs why i sobbed uncontrollably for 10 minutes afterwards. honestly, we need more heloises in this world who aren't afraid to tell artists to get their shit together.
I don't mean to be rude, but...I wonder if one has to be a lesbian and maybe lost a lover to cry with this movie. I was utterly bored with it. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but I am really curious if the gay sensibility is so different from the heterosexual point of view. I don't know if the director based her story on something factual, some lesbians in the 1770's that she read about it.
@@anairenemartinez165 to answer your first question, absolutely not. the large majority of people seeing this and connecting with it are not LGBTQ. it was definitely a life-changing film for me as a woman, though, as it's themes are deeply rooted in the feminine experience. and to answer your second question no, there is no difference between loving a person if you are heterosexual or homosexual. however, if you are viewing this film through the lens as if these women are doing something "different" than you may need to readjust. this is love. love is love. and to answer your third question, this is a fictional story. celine did not base this on any real, factual love story. sorry to hear you were bored. you seem to be in the minority, though.
And I try to wait PATIENTLY for May 22, when it will be released!!! Sadly we have the virus closing theaters, restricting access!! Hopefully a way to see it on big screen.
I absolutely love the way that Adele, being an actress, has absolute control over her mannerisms, facial expressions and body language, and yet the way she presents herself in real life is so unique and organic. She’s just so mesmerising
As a french, i'm very proud that french cinema is represented, outside the country, by these woman. These a lot of really good french films, but most of the time, they don't get the recognition outside of France. So it makes the succes of "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" even more satisfying.
@@enianggraini2408 It is true yes. And if you want more gossip, Adèle Haenel and Céline Sciamma use to date. Haenel even thanks Sciamma at a award show by saying "thank you Céline, I love you". Wich was quite cute.
@@catherinefiant hahaaha, yeah.. People have their own feeling about someone love life.. I just though noemie is really handsome with her style now (short hair), eventhough she cuts her hair just because for her rule or something
these women are so powerful. céline’s quote about giving back the blood to historical women gave me chills. this movie conjured the dead and made us see them, like a lot of the best art. and it makes us see ourselves.
also as an actor, adele’s words on craft and the way she talks about the artist-audience relationship are just magic and so insightful. i would die to work with her or any of those three. like, no pay, no lines, gofer status if necessary....yeah magnificent
Great answer by Adele Haenel - when confronted to work on sex scene in the film industry and how director Celine Sciamma protected her and Noemie Merlant from this uncomfortable moment. Unlike other directors who are lack of ideas and treat women as objects rather than subjects. Bravo to everyone who has worked on this beautiful movie, especially our wonderful womans :)
ohh I love these "womans" mistake so much french doing mistakes in English is just one of the most adorable things in the world and I'm not even native English
As a man, I felt I was automatically waiting for the movie to show 'more', like more skin, more display of their bodies, because this is what I always got from movies. During sex scenes, lots of movies like to pan across the woman's body, revealing her figure - she would be the main 'subject' of the scene. But with Portrait of a Lady on Fire, this was not the case. It's like I can tell that this movie was definitely not made by a man. I'm glad to have seen this. Love this movie. Hope more people see it.
Still not entirely certain if they said "female gaze" of "female gays" either way I agree and I have decided to stan As a lesbian I will be staying, thank you
Yes! Céline succeeded. I left the theater feeling awed and grateful that good, inspiring films are still being made. This movie by far is the best one I have ever seen.
Chelin Sciama kind of did in this film what Sarah Waters does with her novels. A very generous act of love and giving back to women in all ages. I love them both. I adored this movie.
Such powerful words. You can see how deeply Céline has thought about those concepts, and how strongly she believes in what is not only her opinion, but her choice on how to lead her life. And she's sharing it with us with the greatest possible grace. I don't know about you, other youtube watchers, but that's the kind of role model I want for me and my people.
They may have been asked the same questions more than once but just listening to them and trying to intellectually answer the questions creatively makes me admire them more and English isn't even their first language but they gracefully sent the ideas and thoughts across. Brilliant artists and people.
This was my favorite mediator/interviewer/presenter of a panel EVER! Congratulations, man! You'r funny, light, not disrespectful. I really loved it! A round of applause!
I love how noemie is really connected in every interviews with adele and celine, shes really close to them. Unlike to any others interviews of her films shes really distant. Here, feels like shes home with them?
I agree, it's beautiful to see someone so serene and comfortable. I think they really managed to create among them the accepting environment of which they were talking so passionately about.
*The Best Lines and quotes from this Interview, Because I think this Interview is just as well written & portrayed as the movie POALOF-* C- 0:33 (1:04) A- 1:20 (1:45 & 2:03 Muppet 😂) N- 2:22 (2:40 It's the stories that I've never read, something that I've been Missing & 2:55 Power of this love story was so much alive in this screenplay, Huge promise, to meet Marianne at the audition, she was so alive, so modern) C- 3:38 (believing in patience & delay, that you'll speak that language & live that rhythm, 4:30 - "they're kinda moody they could smile a bit"... _Yeah! But NO_ ; It's how we feel when we fall in love - _we patiently hope that it's mutual_ , *that it's building patiently* . _But inside, we are so impatient._ ) A- 5:00 (5:40 _I think the way that we play has really much to do with _*_music_* ; Not being afraid of the *_silence_* , and just leaving the *_room_* for the other, It's all a matter of *_melody_* that we would *_compose together_* ; *We are **_different instrument_** but we work well together* ; working together was a real pleasure and also very difficult and I mean difficult in a good way you know _because we were looking for something very precise_ ) N- 6:23 she was a really intense actress, that I admire a lot; because you can be always surprised and it was a good surprise 7:25 we built this relation, this collaboration between Heloise and Marianne at the same time _as we built our collaboration together_ Host- "the way this movie plays out regardless of it being in the 18th century it feels radical and current for today" C- _I didn't want the movie to be anachronistic at all._ I worked really really hard, documented myself really hard, and work also with sociologists of the arts who were specialists of this specific period that _everything is historically accurate_ I think you know the project was *_to give back them their bodies, the rush of blood - this woman from the past to give back their presence_* and I think it's not it's _I didn't want to wink at the present from the past_ you know so I didn't want it to be modern *_I just wanted to make them alive_* A- we didn't rehearse together but it doesn't mean that we didn't work separately; _basically, it's easy just get to learn your lines_ *perfectly* *_so you'll be free after to compose a new melody to also destroy what should be obvious in your line_* it's a way *_there's always creativity_*_ in the fact that you would change the meaning of the line what because you change the way of saying it_ from my perspective I worked more around also an intellectual idea or artistical idea that would be I wanted to build a character that would *_portray the journey between being an object to being a subject_* so this was my idea from the beginning of *my secret plan* in a way from the beginning of the shooting so this was the thing I try to create to include to my acting *_this journey that would involve the slide in the way of acting from the beginning to the end of the movie_* N- 11:28 *_what I did is observe a lot_* Ellen and try to _catch the gaze of the painter, the gaze of the artist_ because I kind of made a mix of a lens gaze and Celine's gaze *_because I think painter as all artists have this particular gaze which is a really concentrated gaze, really mystic also which is a mix of looking in observe the details, the contrast for a painter and also of a more global vision of what you do and what you want to share_* and I was really trying to catch this and then there is all the technique and the gesture and the rhythm of the painter between the model and the canvas and you know it's three steps back through these three steps towards the canvas this kind of the dance of the painter that I was trying to catch.
back from the past when Adele was only 17, the way she express herself and the way she moves didnt change.. and so for Celine.. 😸 soooo cute.. and Noemie's smile is captivating making Adele to smile secretly...😍❤❤❤❤❤
Obviously really disappointed with the changes at Collider. But SO pleased you're giving a platform to this amazing film. And great to hear one of the best directors of the last ten years talk about her work.
I absolutely adore this movie, two extremely gorgeous talented actresses and a very creative writer/director. This is by far one of the best films I have ever seen.
Im just amazed how Adele and the director still get along, very mature. Apparently they had a romantic relationship years ago but they ended in good terms. Thanks for this movie to all three of them.
the film and this trio is such a blessing... celine is amazing with her vision and her words and nomemie and adele were so brilliant with their characters. also they're the cutest people ever :')
interviewer: do you know what rotten tomatoes is?? Adele: Nope... and then she's like "Of course who doesn't??"... She is sooooooo adorable. Just like a baby.
What a wonderful love story at the end when she approaches the painting and see’s the book on her lap with her finger on page 28 my heart dropped still in love🏳️🌈❤️
Deborah DP that to me was the most beautiful moment of the whole film. Heloise's hand enveloped on her portrait of Marianne within her own portrait as a mark of eternal love - and the look on Marianne's face when she notices it. Just loved it. ❤️
The fact that a movie with NO explicit sex scene portrayed more passion that a film with one 10 minute sex scene & multiple others.... huh, maybe that’s what happens when lesbians write lesbian characters & a lesbian actress plays a lesbian. Who would’ve thought!
totallyyyyy agreeeeeeeeee!!! I rememberd someone saying "the movie is not excited enough not enough passioned sex scene" I was like,...they don't need explicit scene to burst out of love !!!
Wow, Adeele speaking whole sentences and how insightful! Too often we assume people from history don't share the same emotions, hopes and feelings that we do now. So yes, Celine had to make the characters real and nothing more, and let the story run
“- where did you find this place to film this? - as you mean... - the location - oh I thought the sex scene 🙂 We can really only talk about the sex scene 🤓” You’re the best Céline! 🤣🤣🤣
@BrianManson ... “A bunch of woke french women talking about a french film”🤔🤔🤔 It’s a movie, a really good one, and that it’s all Collider admires. I’m a Star Wars fan myself but Collider is something that goes beyond those amazing shows and can enjoy other amazing films. Shows and screeners like this helps lesser known films to be recognize and those films don’t have the fault of what Collider decided to do with their shows, but with comments like yours, they are paying the price.
@@ann_stucchi it's currently grossed 3 million....most people dont want this content...this video has 4.4k views. If collider want to make content for the woke crowd fair enough...but it won't last long. Most people CLEARLY don't want this stuff.
Estar viva e apreciar uma arte tão linda como esse filme acalentou meu coração e está me deixando revirada há dias. Maravilhosas, muito grata, sem dúvidas o melhor filme que já vi
Postscript- 20 years pass . Heloise becomes a rich widow. She goes to Paris to commission a painting from Marianne’s shop. Their eyes meet. Marianne speaks. “You are the same, Beautiful.”
Celine is brilliant, and her choice not to have a score in the film was absolutely perfect. For me, it's what made the story even more real. And what I love about this is just how meta the message of this movie is. It's about Marianne breaking free from conventions and restrictions of art and society to express herself as she is (the painting, and her love for Heloise), and it's also echoed in Celine choosing not to follow the conventional romantic period drama by not including a score. She did what she thought was true of the story telling, and it paid off tremendously. There are long, uncomfortable silences where the characters are thinking and figuring themselves out. The realism of that would've been taken away with a score that would've filled those silences with swelling emotions of yearning, sadness, etc. Without the score, we were able to experience interactions for what they were without rose-tinted glasses, and that added to the intensity/tension between characters. This isn't to say that having a score is wrong; comparing this to Carol, I wouldn't say Carol shouldn't have had a score. It was a different story told through a different lense. There was even less dialogue between the characters who were not as forthcoming as Marianne and Heloise, and the music was necessary to fill in the gaps about their emotions. Celine had a unique story with a unique lense, and I think she did it great justice. I agree with all the choices she made
I’ve seen all the interviews of this movie, these interviews need to get creative. They all ask the same boring questions, I feel bad for these 3 that they have to repeat themselves several times. I recommend they give a look on Charlie’s Angels or Ocean 8 cast interviews and learn how to make the interview more fun and catchy for both them and us And since it’s a French movie, I’d like it if we have these interviews in French, because speaking another language is like another you, you’ll use only words you know and the meanings won’t find their way to be expressed
I've seen other interviews without Noemie and Adele's behavior is totally normal. She looks totally quiet and relaxed. But if Noemie appears, Adèle loses control! 😂😂🙈
Noemi and Adele didn't reherse together but studied the lines carefully instead. Adele basically said that creativity goes through the way how you say the lines. It's true!! how you deliver the lines says different stories. 💯
just tell me it's not only my mind who hears gays instead of gaze... I mean the power of the gays or the power of the gaze... are they different tho.. js
OMG meilleur film de toute ma vie: il m'a éclairé sur ma propre vie: c'est comme si quelqu'un était venu dans mon salon et m'avait mis une GROSSE CLAQUE en me hurlant que oui, je suis bien lesbienne et non hétéro mdr
Comme je vous comprends, c'est un film d'une intensité sensible extraordinaire. Une merveille pour les yeux... Et le corps. Je vous conseil un autre film qui pourrait vous plaire dans le regard de celui ci : " Carole"
