Romance and art entwine in Céline Sciamma’s masterful period romance, back on screens in digital 4K.

Cast | Noémie Merlant, Adèle Haenel, Luàna Bajrami, Valeria Golino

 

Céline Sciamma’s modern classic – an exquisite queer romance set in 18th century France – is back in cinemas in a new digital 4K version.

Brittany, France, 1760. Marianne (Noémie Merlant) is commissioned to paint a portrait of a young noblewoman, Lady Héloïse (Adèle Haenel) to elicit marriage proposals for her. Knowing Héloïse doesn’t want to get married, Marianne disguises herself as a lady’s maid in order to gain her subject’s trust – only to find herself falling in love.

Exploring the power of the female gaze, Portrait shows two women grappling with their desires in a society that prohibits both their autonomy and their love. Erotic and cerebral, bold and restrained, it’s a gorgeous, slow burn romance.
