ABOUT THIS EVENT

In 18th century France, painter Marianne is commissioned to create a wedding portrait of Héloïse. However, Héloïse refuses to pose, forcing Marianne to observe her by day and paint her from memory by night. As the portrait develops, so does their bond, filled with unspoken emotions. Before the film, Alliance Française Eindhoven will provide a short introduction. With its emphasis on longing, memories, and the dynamics of observation, Céline Sciamma's film is a mesmerizing exploration of love that lingers long after the credits roll. Join us for a slice of France with this acclaimed film that’s not to be missed!
