Portrait of a Lady on Fire
(2019)

This movie feels like watching something build slowly, knowing it is going to end. The wind sweeps across the cliffs. The sea crashes against the rocks. The house is silent except for the crackle of the fireplace and the sound of charcoal on paper. The bonfire scene, with the women singing as Héloïse and Marianne lock eyes, is the exact moment everything shifts.
