Our ongoing series of films about artists of all kinds.

Céline Sciamma's PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE is a tale of empowerment, creativity and forbidden passion. And - spoiler alert - apart from two musical moments that play a part in the plot, the film has no music. "I wanted to make music a part of the characters' lives, as a rare, desired, precious, unavailable thing," says Sciamma. "And to put the viewer in the same condition. The film also tells us that art, literature, music and cinema allow us to give full rein to our emotions." It was also the director's initial desire to tell a love story based on equality, not on hierarchies and relationships of power and seduction, but the pure present and pleasure of falling in love. "You've never seen another movie quite like this. In its quiet gaze love becomes art." - Seattle Times. "Though the film sizzles with an erotic heat that grows from an initial repression...[Sciamma's] transfixing film, about the heady experience of an impossible first love, is a timeless work of art." -Rolling Stone
