Alliance Ciné: Portrait of a Lady on Fire

In 18th century France, painter Marianne is commissioned to create a wedding portrait of Héloïse. As Héloïse refuses to pose, Marianne must observe her by day and paint from memory by night. As the portrait takes shape, so does an emotional connection between the two women. This month, Alliance Française Eindhoven presents Portrait of a Lady on Fire, a critically acclaimed love story by Céline Sciamma, followed by a brief introduction.
