It’s been over two months since I watched Portrait of a Lady on Fire and, in some capacity, I’ve thought about it almost every day since. Below is the review I posted to my Letterboxd profile.
“This film’s emotive qualities are boundless. On one hand, the limitations placed on the characters’ societal and romantic aspirations provoke a deep frustration. On the other is the affair’s overwhelming beauty, which intensifies by the second.
The poignancy of the final scenes in the art gallery and the theater is staggering. This is one of the most well-crafted love stories of all time.”
