[@dr.pennington1664]

Collaboration in love is more interesting than domination. -Adele Wow that was so well put

"Celine and I know each other, kind of" 🤣

[@maisavilanova291]

Portrait of a lady on fire is the most beautiful film of the world!

[@greenkitty82]

Maisa Vilanova I agree I was really impressed by all aspects of it - the pace, the characters, the dialogue, the lack of music, the editing and the beautiful love story and scenery, the whole film was like a painting in itself. Amazing job.

[@enolaholmes3309]

she is a beautiful person inside and out from what I gather in interviews.

[@feelfreefpv]

During the whole movie I was so stunned by this actress. It was like I have known her for a very long time, like a friend from childhood or almost like a sister. Every move and gesture was like a deja vu from of a long lost friend. That and the lovely love story made this movie very, very special for me. I have been frustrated trying to remember whos double from my life she can be but I have given up. I have to believe it is her fantastic precence in acting that make me feel at home. But I have never experienced anything like it in any other movie.

[@harleyquiinnnn]

That's so interesting

[@sarad6052]

I feel the same way. I wonder, could it be your self?

[@glovetones]

P Lund check out the Jung concept of the anima - perhaps she’s part of your anima construct

Yeah, I assume the interviewer was English lol... so why the mispronunciation?

@@carrots_arelife2924 Yeah, Adele is clearly not impressed 😅

[@axelaazej]

She clearly hasn't seen the movie 😐

[@emppuv6083]

It made me hurt inside

[@greenkitty82]

I don't know why when we Brits refer to French names we can never say it right. Makes you cringe. 😬 You think the journalists above anyone would say it right, especially in speaking to the actor that plays them.

[@tnzzz2686]

In all seriousness, I really liked her thoughts on how women can achieve equality in the film industry. That it takes a collective effort and belief in each other.

[@katelovespizza]

her English is pretty good, she is so talented. What a wonderful actress.

[@greenkitty82]

Gisselle ST her Dad is Austrian and she speaks German too so that could be a factor! 😁

[@brendalu.zarate6939]

Her smile every time she answer 🙂

[@pereiramwgd]

Adele's masculine gestures are everything!

[@zah936]

Yesss

[@asnaeraali1296]

love it when she just smile when she's done answering so cuteee

[@elfsieben1450]

This film is not just a great and quite mature LOVE STORY. It is also a deep philosophical reflection on the NATURE and CULTURE of both, love and ART; on their similarities, on their differences, and on their connectedness in personal and interpersonal passions and myths. And also it is an illuminating PORTRAIT of (depending on your point of view) two to four women (three of them still young), which even though the cast is very limited does still work perfectly well as a PERIOD PIECE of pre-revolutionary late eighteenth century Europe. It is AMAZING how a single movie can deliver on three such intricate levels at once without ever seeming too cerebral, convoluted or overburdened. It's a great "small" production that relies on intense and pure acting, intimate cinematography and sound design, crafty editing and a great amount of empathy and sympathy for its entire cast of characters. The film is very SENSITIVE and SENSUAL: It has suggestive framing, interpersonal looks, drawings and oil paintings; and from the entirety of costumes, interiors, dialogue, period music and mannerisms as well as from what the script tells us between the lines, it teaches us quite a lot about late eighteenth century WOMEN'S LIVES in Europe. This film is subtly sensuous, tactfully taboo-breaking, and its very erotic drug-enhanced sex-scene (on flight anoint!) has clearly not been put in as a unique "sexed up" selling point but to contribute to both its characterisation and temporal placement in pre-revolutionary France. All in all, "Portrait of a Young Lady on Fire" is a TRUE-TO-LIFE COSTUME DRAMA about the complex and manyfold aspects and facets of art, different kinds of love, passion, the romantic and sexual morals of its time, the limits and opportunities of this era, about personal and interpersonal growth, about the crannies, nuances and pitfalls of all these themes, about the profane and the sublime, about the deception and the revelation of art, about frailty and eternity. While more obviously dealing in the VISUAL ARTS, this film's SOUND DESIGN ist also superb and conveys a lot of emotion and meaning, especially when it comes to intimacy, human connectedness and/or isolation, passion, personal identity, and the power of art and love. Without giving too much away, this BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY of a movie reveals its essence in a brilliant denouement that reminds me of Bob Marley's lyrical lines "One good thing about music: When it hits you, you feel no pain"; something that in equal measures could also be said of love and of art in general. Or as Adèle Haenel put it: "Collaboration in a love story is much more interesting than domination." Be it between artists, lovers, and/or artists and art lovers - this film is a celebration of art, collaboration, (com-)passion, love and (mutual) lust. If you can dig the congenial full-on cinematic approach that "Frida" (2002) has taken on an artist's life, loves, passions and works - please make sure to watch the somewhat more reticent but nevertheless congenial and just as passionate and sensuous approach of "Portrait of a Young Lady on Fire" - and vice versa. Both movies belong in the same PREMIUM league of ARTHOUSE CINEMA (far from kitsch, but with a certain openness to MAINSTREAM APPEAL on a more general HUMAN INTEREST level).

“Collaboration in a love story is way more interesting than domination”

[@debjyotibhattacharjee685]

There is something in that movie that can attract the audience. People like me who is a fan of action movie, also got obsessed with this movie, I never felt bore while watching it. Very nice acting done by Adle & Noemi.

[@grandaddypurple]

ugh I absolutely adore how well spoken and elegant she is, even in a language she’s not terribly familiar with. such a beautiful and intelligent woman

[@Siris35]

I loved the second portrait with the picture of the painter page is revealed for her to see. Her love was captured in time on canvas.
