Equally vital is Portrait of a Lady on Fire , a French film directed by Céline Sciamma. Set in the late 18th century, it tells the story of a female painter commissioned to paint a wedding portrait of a reluctant bride. It is a slow-burn romance that burns with an intensity rarely seen in modern cinema. It is a film about the "male gaze" versus the "female gaze," about art, and about memory.
