About Portrait of a Lady on Fire

In this ravishing period romance, passion ignites between a young aristocrat and the woman hired to paint her wedding portrait. Resentful of her forced marriage, the former at first refuses to pose, but soon the two women develop an emotional, erotic bond. As much about creativity as it is about female desire, this sumptuous, slow-burn love story is a clever subversion of the traditional tale of an artist and "his" muse. D: Céline Sciamma, France, subtitled, 2019, 2h

About Prof. Lakshmi Padmanabhan

Lakshmi Padmanabhan is a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Society of Fellows at Dartmouth College, and is teaching a course on Queer Cinema in the department of Film & Media Studies. Her current book, The Untimely Image explores how experiments with cinematic time in queer feminist video art from South Asia manifest radical feminist politics. She has programmed experimental film and video at venues including BRIC Contemporary, AS220, and Magic Lantern Cinema. Hop Film is excited for this opportunity to collaborate and hopes it will be the first of many!
