It's amazing how we start off with only Marianne's head in the shot, she is the painter, in control. Heloise's shot is wide, exposing most of her, the muse under the eyes of the artist. But at the end, Marianne is left feeling vulnerable and exposed, with a wide shot of the painter, as she no longer feels like she has a power over the muse. Heloise's shot is now focused on her head, her face, with a triumphant smile, feeling less vulnerable now
The first feminist gesture is to say: “Ok. They’re looking at me. But I’m looking at them.” The act of deciding to look, of deciding that the world is not defined by how people see me, but by how I see them.” - Agnès Varda
Wow so..deep.. meaningless how the world looks on you but craving the gaze of that one person sees your essence.. beyond the preview everyone,past the surface but plunging beneath the infinitesimal that makes up each intricate part of the being.. reading past the painting to inhale what makes up it's parts.Seeing thru the hue of rainbow colours of an artist stroke, the patience of each line, anxious spacing between each shape colliding in each colour, lathering within the taste of their aura in each drop of paint .lines making love, the expression whimpers in colourful excitement,.seeing the hint of red in yearning gaze..their apprehension cascading shapes of violet, the echos of her heart beat while gravitating towards the blond..sexy how they point small things about each other.. their body under certain situations unaware.. the part when the blond says "you breathe thru your mouth when you are troubled"...sweet like fragrance from an angel trumpet.. appealing and sensual such small things.. chemistry flaming between them..the fire inside of them slowly ascending but both controlling the fluctuations,,like each word exchanged pulled them in a trance.. souls become one.. delicious and feathery while so weighty with savage.
Open the soul and let emotions play your feelings like drum.. touching each share and beat with sensual expert percussion and precision.. being touch so deep that your cells feel it first..
interesting to note that, by this point in the film, it's a fact marianne has already acknowledged within herself, her attraction to heloise (the previous scene is heloise asking marianne about love, a moment marianne later admits was the first time she wanted to kiss heloise/knew she loved her). here, marianne is actually putting herself in a very vulnerable position, but to protect herself, she uses her role as the painter to justify her interest in heloise. when heloise counters marianne's observations with a few of her own, she's returning her affection. in addition to being knocked down a peg, marianne doesn't expect this, and so she's in disbelief by the scene's end.
i love how heloise is so done with marianne by the end of the scene. they're about to kiss, they both see it, and marianne chickens out and we have a close-up of heloise. and she's not blinking. after all... marianne did say not blinking meant she was annoyed lmaoooo
It cracks me up how Marianne just goes back to her easel and continues painting like THAT didn't just happen. And Heloise gives her the biggest annoyed stare down lmao. Can you imagine the awkward blazing tension in that room between them as they both continue to stare at each other during the rest of the session? Phewwww. I bet Marianne, like a minute later, makes an excuse to get some water or something from the kitchen to escape herself and Heloise because she's unable to compose herself anymore haha.
@@CamyTV_ no no it was during the piano scene. At the very last scene as the piece Marianne played for her is being played, you can see Heloise's pain and regret, her crying, but for a second she remembers. She smiles. This was to answer our question on what exactly she was remembering.
UwU This is why I love this movie because I’m learning and understanding all the subtle hints of every scene and conversation between Marianne and Heloise, the meaning of it. Simply amazing 😉
Marina Yea, when Marianne started to first play , look at how Heloise is looking at her and smiling softly, looking at her mouth . I actually felt that Heloise wanted to kiss her. She was looking at Marianne like a little kid looks at a lollipop, sweet
The whole film was just visually stunning, incredible shots, comforting silence, brilliant writing and amazing acting.. Such a sad beautiful story but that's the case with love.. If lovers end up together there wouldn't be much of a story to tell.. Cinema isn't the seventh art, cinema is all arts combined.
Indeed.. wen u can taste the colours, smell the shape. Inhale the strokes, feel the words, seeing the music in the pull to someone.. only responding to them, your body in tune to every small detail of them, to a point where they are your muse in everything you do, you hum a tune you taste them, you hear a song their energy floats to mind. You see an art piece , the small things about the taste of their souls color is do heightened that the whole atmosphere is kissed by it , seeping inside your soul and exhaled dancing like aroma in the Galexy.. the trilogy of art beating in love and expressed in sweetness so good you can't get enough of an individual.. even when they make you angry you can't help but think of the fine details of their voice or laugh or giggles in the most simplest thing...oh my..
@@vidneypopples no not lust but yearn..you lust for sex but yearn for connection in the most unfathomable way beyond the naked eye and greed of the flesh but crave to literally be one with a soul.
@@vidneypopples Lust is all about urge and craving sex. It's immensely different from the exquisite connection these two women have for each other. More likely a soul to soul connection and perceiving the person as a really exception,that's how affection can grow between two people whose genuinely in love.
@@vidneypopples Not quite. These women don’t just want sex from each other, they want to share a story with each other that will not be possible in their lives.
The scene hoes into your cranium and light each cell on fire demanding to Taste every whisper, eye gaze, silent moans, energy caressing daring tension and sexy control...lol
I kno right.. bring able to notice and be aware of the small intricate details of a person it moves the inner being so differently.. I'm writing a poetry piece for it.. "I notice".
I remember while watching the movie that 2:07 felt like eternity. I've never seen so much tension between two people before in a film. Beautifully portrayed by both
The genius of this shot: the camera views change depending on the artist/subject. At the end of the shot you see a panned out picture of the artist, who has in fact become the subject.
If someone hasn't said it, I believe THIS is the 1st x Heloise wants to kiss Marianne. (That was never revealed face to face in their night gowns their last night whispering together.) This is surely the moment. So intimate, so honest for the first time - looking at each others' mouths...chemistry is right. Not hard to do with such amazing women and exp'd actresses. Thank you for this. ;)
Their emotions spoke, for their hearts feared.. thts how it is to be do raw and open, leaving the thoughts, feelings, fantasies, craving vulnerable at ones feet, being controlled esp when the energy made you feel like your in control.. letting the emotions and attraction spill on the floor of peeling the soul so it's depths can be sampled slowly by the tongue of the mind. Lips of the thoughts and the taste buds of the emotions..
"I cant make you smile, i feel I do it and then it vanishes" The movie ends with Heloise crying but smiling, thinking about their memories and their freedom.
I just watched this movie last night for the first time. I paused the movie, during this scene, and it was at THE right moment. It happened when Marianne left Heloise's side. When I paused the movie, Heloise was at mid-blink, which made her look like she was rolling her eyes in utter displeasure. Her face exactly looked like she was all "Goddamn it, she STILL didn't kiss me... -_-" And I cackled so loudly.
well originally this moment in the script was their first kiss... but Celine decided to make that scene even hotter and leave us with the "mic drop" look
Just found this film while stumbling through Hulu. Possibly the most beautiful film I have seen and these women are all this film needs. Loved how they all looked out and after each other. Oppression dictates what will happen but we get to live these days with these women without having to see it til the end. What a Love story and so genius to let them make their own rhythm and no score. Their chemistry is the beat. So easy and common to have that rushing emotional music when Marianne sprints to the beach to ask Heloise to forgive her and to tell her her Mother is coming 💔. But we only get their music and portrayal of heartbreak. Nothing else was needed. Love this film. ❤️
3 months later and i'm here, testing my french, proud of myself cause i can understand "si vous me regarde, qui je regarde moi?" and also proud because this movie exists. AU REVOIRRRRRR
Feels strange to watch in your native language with subtitles in the second language you're fluent in. You can't help but do the comparison between what you hear and what you read. Loved this movie anyway ❤️❤️
The bootsteps. I love the echoing bootsteps. They’re tense as fuck, they make me uncomfortable, but they’re exactly what I imagine 18th century Europe to sound like
I wonder how many takes this scene was, especially the part where Heloise says "...you breathe through your mouth." You clearly see Haenel's delivery caught Merlant off guard, and she is stunned by it. Excellent delivery by Haenel and reaction by Merlant...
Clairement l'une des scènes qui se prête le plus à l'extrait, sans rien gâcher du film. Un chef d'oeuvre, poétique et bien écrit... À la façon d'une pièce de Racine ou d'un poème de Baudelaire. Beau et dérangeant ❤ gros coup de coeur pour un film qui s'annonçait comme un énieme nanar au vu de la pub faite ...
this scene is the moment for heloise' first attempt to kiss marriane if you guys can recall when heloise asked her that time when they were together in bed staring with each other!!!!!
Just saw it for the third time and this scene is my favorite still. Can someone explain why Heloise wanted Marianne to paint her recreating the abortion scene. Also, why didn’t Marianne tell her how she felt . Heloise was begging her to explain her heart but was she afraid. It wound have still been up to Heloise to make the choice . My third question was why did Heloise want to go in the water ? Anyone can shed some light I’ll appreciate it very much. This movie was so masterfully written and acted in every where with so much symbolism, I would love to talk to the director to have her explain those questions for me.
"why Heloise wanted Marianne to paint her recreating the abortion scene" - because 'sorority' is one of the main themes of the film...this film isn't just about the passion between Heloise and Marianne, but about the sisterhood between all 4 main women characters (and how they closely relate and understand each other's plight). "why didn’t Marianne tell her how she felt" - because of the time they lived in, on top of the risk and vulnerability and humiliation of possible rejection (or even regret, for making a 'forbidden' and dangerous move). "My third question was why did Heloise want to go in the water ?" - because she felt trapped in her new life, and swimming represented some freedom to her. All this from a hetro dude, by the way lol...this movie fascinated me, as while i found all the women sexually attractive (even the mother lol), that seemed so very much secondary (or tertiary) compared to how i related to the characters, and wanted them to be happy and safe. You should see The Lighthouse (if you haven't already) which is like the polar male opposite to this film (there's even deep Greek mythology involved in both films). Two best films of 2019.
DeathToTheDictators Thanks so much for the explanation because this film has so much depth and layers that I’m constantly trying to figure different things out. I certainly see now that you’ve explained it from this perspective and it’s amazing . This coming from a hetro dude is wonderful and I’m very impressed that you picked up on it. This is my favorite movie if all time and I can watch it over and over again and see a different message and meaning . Wow, I’m still in awe of the brilliance that the director brought with her writing and direction of this portrayal of deep and everlasting love.
@@b52bomber23 Hey, no problem! I'm glad you enjoyed the film as much as i did (i actually relate so much to Marianne, being a single 43 year old who once found 'true love' but it didn't work out...long story lol. All this time i've been Orpheus, and i didn't even know it until this film!). And check out The Lighthouse...like i said, the male opposite to this film (and shot/filmed just as beautifully, and in black and white, no less! Best performance of Willem Dafoe's career, and that's saying something) ....both deal so much about gender (and the power and role we hold, in our genders)....there's (slight) homo-erotic tones in it too (again, Greek mythology, as it's somewhat a take on the Prometheus story....those old Greeks were very progressive, for over 2000 years ago lol). Both these films can be watched again and again, and you'll always get more out of them.
DeathToTheDictators You’re awesome and thanks for the recommendation. I’m a movie buff and see movies a minimum of two a week but never saw The Lighthouse . However, I’ll try to see it when I’m off and let you know. It would be nice to see something similar but from a man’s perspective. It sounds crazy but I wish that Heloise did see Marianne when she went to hear the Orchestra play Marianne’s favorite song and also it’s the first song she heard besides organ music. Isn’t it fascinating that she went alone , probably because of her deep love for Marianne which she still has but wanted that private moment to relive the experience all to herself. I think it’s why she was able to be honest with her feelings and show them in an honest manner. That was amazing and left me so sad because I think that the director wanted the audience to wish they could have been together . Man this movie is so real. Well thanks and let me know what you think. I’m glad you at least experienced something like it😘
This moments makes me hate myself 'cause I've chosen to learn Latin as a third language in school instead of French. Yes, know I was able to study history, but still... I'm not sure if I ever learned what love really is.
Marianne : Je n’arrive pas à vous faire sourire. C’est comme si j’avais l’impression de le faire et qu’il disparaissait. Héloïse : La colère fini toujours par gagner. M : Je ne voulais pas vous blesser. H : Vous ne m’avez pas blessée. M : Si, je le vois. Quand vous êtes émue, vous faite comme ça avec votre main. H : Vraiment ? M : Oui. Et quand vous êtes embarrassée, vous mordez vos lèvres. Et quand vous êtes agacée, vous n’oscillez pas. H : Vous savez tout. M : Pardonnez-moi, je n’aimerai pas être à votre place. H : Mais nous sommes à la même place. Exactement à la même place. Venez ici. Venez. Approchez-vous. Regardez. Si vous me regardez, qui je regarde, moi ? Quand vous ne savez pas quoi dire, vous touchez votre front. Quand vous perdez le contrôle, vous haussez les sourcils. Et quand vous êtes troublée, vous respirez par la bouche.
Wow so..deep.. to see it meaningless how the world looks upon you but only tasting the gaze of that one person sees your essence.. seeing beyond the view that everyone sees ,past the surface but tasting beneath the infinitesimal that makes up each intricate part of them.. flowing past the painting to see what makes up it's parts.Seeing thru the shadow colours of an artist stroke, the perception of each line, bated spacing between each shape intertwining in each colour, seeing the taste of their aura in each drop of paint .lines connecting, as they groan in colourful frustration,.seeing the red in their nervous gaze..their apprehension melting into shapes of violet, you could see the sounds of her heart beat while moving towards the blond.. enticing how they identify those small things about each other.. movement of their body under certain situations unawareness.. the part when the blond says "you breathe thru your mouth when you are troubled"...sweet and deep and intense like wild daisies.. being so aware of someone so appealing and sensual such small things..such chemistry between them..you can see the fire inside of them individually, slowly ascending but both controlling the temperature,like each word exchanged pulled them closer making their soul become one... Almost like fire flying.. delicious and light while so heavy with craving.
@@conradboloks I'm glad I could do that for you.. I like tasting and seeing deeper than the surfaces, it helped to understand the characters and also feel what their eyes feel, the words their body language is exchanging and the conversations their eyes have without their mouth even opening..I like feeling what's not usually felt by most.. going deeper in the core..not saying what is on the surface doesnt matter, for whatsbon the surface in the suger that begins the dynamic and music of the attraction..
@@Gifted.LIl.Thang884 Their eyes right?! I think they had more conversations with their eyes and body gestures than with their actual words. It's really beautiful the way that those actresses gave life to the characters. I also love to see the symbolic meanings of all the things we see in that masterpiece. U know, the fire? It means so more than just fire. I would love to have a conversation with u to be honest. It's really hard to find people like you.
@@conradboloks ues indeed their eyes.. does so much.. says so much..converts so much.. I thing they had a more in depth conversation with their eyes that their lips even did.. the body has a language that's like an electrical surge, if the energy cant be felt and the chemistry cant be tasted then it's like cutting chicken with a dull knife..its beautiful when a person can actually feel the character of the character that their playing the role of.. its seductive when a person can melt into their roles..their energybis like poetry, your can taste the space between each word like tasting the crash of a thunder on flesh..its superb how one can put their feelings out there just by the use of a painting or words.. it's like painting ones feeling in poetic display.. well you may converse by all means.. but I'm mainly on @weisare1 , shes got some heavy soft romantic deep sexy core sipping edits over there.. have you ever seen Amanda and Edie?
Same. I was all tingly. Just saw the movie. Fucking amazing. Kinda wanna go again, but movie theater that plays it is an annoying distance away. But yea like wow amazing movie, great script, acting, cinematography, might be the best movie from 2019. It between this, Parasite, and The Farewell imo.

Can someone post the French subtitles to this? I’d like to read it in French. Or if anyone knows if the whole script is available, I would love a copy. 😬
Here you are :) MARIANNE : Je n’arrive pas à vous faire sourire. C’est comme si j’avais l’impression de le faire et qu’il disparaissait. HÉLOÏSE : La colère finit toujours par gagner. MARIANNE : Chez vous c’est certain. Je ne voulais pas vous blesser. HÉLOÏSE : Vous ne m’avez pas blessée. MARIANNE : Si je le vois, quand vous êtes émue, vous faites comme ça avec votre main. HÉLOÏSE : Vraiment ? MARIANNE : Oui. Et quand vous êtes embarrassée, vous mordez vos lèvres. Et quand vous êtes agacée, vous ne cillez pas. HÉLOÏSE : Vous savez tout. MARIANNE : Pardonnez moi, je n’aimerais pas être à votre place. HÉLOÏSE : Mais nous sommes à la même place, exactement la même place. Venez ici. Venez. Approchez vous. Regardez. Si vous me regardez, qui je regarde moi ? Quand vous ne savez pas quoi dire vous baisser la tête et vous toucher votre front, Quand vous perdez le contrôle vous haussez les sourcils, et quand vous êtes troublée, vous respirez par la bouche.
I love this so much. As young women, we are so often 'looked at' by men and our non-verbal cues are ignored. They seem to think they're the ones in control, watching and silently judging us, sexualising or objectifying our bodies. But, just as they're getting comfortable, you shoot a look back, a straight stare of defiance that catches them off-guard. Then you lock eyes and we both smile wryly. He thinks we're smiling because we're interested; I mean, he just got a 'sexy' look from a pretty girl! But really, we're smiling because we know what he's thinking and we know that we're worth more than a man's appreciation. But with women, when you look at women, as a woman yourself, there's no fear, no sexualising, no power games. We're equals. It's liberating.
Within your analysis seems to be a dark judgement and simplification of men. Especially closing with "We're equals" which seems to be only attainable with other women. I hope you meet some men who break the mold for you.
@@BigAndTall1020 If all you took from my comment was an attack on yourself and other men, then this is the very problem I highlighted. Thank your for illustrating it again.
@@skullsaintdead Can you please explain further how my comment exemplifies the point you made in your initial post? I guess I am naive or just missing the point. I am genuinely curious about your perspective. I loved this film and was surprised to read your analysis.
@@BigAndTall1020 Why would you assume my perspective should shift - and why should it shift because of a man? Why wouldn't your perspective shift - and shift because of a woman? Perhaps it is because we live in a male dominated society, where even a comment simply stating the nature & impact of the male gaze is met with outright dismissal by a man. I'd expected a comment like yours (e.g. "this criticism of the male gaze is an attack on me - a man!" - well, not if you're not part of the problem, not if you're respectful - it shouldn't of ever offended you; it should of been met with understanding and empathy). Women share a bond, it's far less likely that we'll be hurt by a woman and near on zero likelihood we'd be raped by her. I suppose our intimacy, our whispers and glances, might make a man suspicious or jealous. That's his problem, not ours - indeed, he cannot attain this level of closeness because he can hurt us. That will differ from person to person, but for me and my closest friends, we'd be in agreement - you cannot let a man get that close, women can come as close as you want. As an attempted rape survivor, I'm not going to advocate for blindly assuming the good in men, when I (and so many women) have seen how easy it is for men to ignore non-verbal cues, body language & even flatly refusing to accept 'No!'. They do what they want and we (1/6 women are SA survivors, all women are survivors of sexism and harassment) have to live with the consequences. He will get away with it too - only 0.5% of rapes ever end with jail time. Wake up.
Than I ask my friend,she painter for painting like marriane painting heloise for her husband also painting like cover for this movie 😅 this so crazy I put in my new own house later 😀😄
I’m not denying that this movie was tragic af, but upon rewatching it on two hours of sleep I’ve come to the conclusion that Heloise gives very strong hot college lesbian vibes and this scene really hammered that home for me
