Portrait of a Lady on Fire Team on the Art of Collaboration | NYFF57

During the 57th New York Film Festival, we sat down with Portrait of a Lady on Fire writer-director Céline Sciamma and stars Adèle Haenel and Noémie Merlant to discuss the art of collaboration, showing the craft of painting on screen, finding chemistry on set, falling in love, and thinking about the audience when making the film.
Céline Sciamma's Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a Main Slate selection at the 57th New York Film Festival, presented by Film at Lincoln Center from Friday, September 27 - Sunday, October 13. See ticket info, the schedule, and more: filmlinc.org/nyff
On the cusp of the 19th century, young painter Marianne travels to a rugged, rocky island off the coast of Brittany. Here, she has been commissioned to create a wedding portrait of the wealthy yet free-spirited Héloise, whose hand in marriage has been promised to a man she’s never met. Resentful of the forced union, Héloise at first refuses to be painted, yet a growing bond-at first emotional and then erotic-develops between the women, exquisitely etched by Noémie Merlant as the artist and Adèle Haenel as her initially reluctant muse. With a visual precision as delicate as that of Merlant’s Marianne-whose patient acts of creation are lovingly dwelt upon-Céline Sciamma classically builds her double portrait from tentative romance to melodramatic rapture to a quietly devastating ending, all while subverting the traditional story of an artist and “his” muse. Winner of the Best Screenplay award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. A NEON release.
A centerpiece of New York culture since 1963, the New York Film Festival will introduce the most essential new cinematic works from around the world to U.S. audiences in its Main Slate. NYFF will also continue to feature a variety of titles in different sections and sidebars, including Spotlight on Documentary, newly rejuvenated classics in Restorations and Revivals, a diverse selection of international and locally made Shorts, the ever-expanding experimental showcase Projections, and the immersive storytelling experiences of the cutting-edge Convergence. Additionally, there will be an exciting lineup of special events, free filmmaker talks and panel discussions, and the latest editions of our annual Industry and Critic Academies.

It did more than leave the room. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it and it's been 9 months. I still haven't recovered. I don't think I ever will.This movie was and is so needed. It made me feel seen like I never have felt before, and so safe. Portrait is home to me. And it's a masterpiece. Out of this world.

The film director and script writer Celine Sciamma is a genius. I look forward to seeing more of her work in the future and of the actresses as well. May they all live long lives to grace us with more of their work.

Sciamma certainly achieved her goals. This beautiful film still stays with me. It is a moving love story, regardless of one’s sexual orientation.
