Portræt af en kvinde i flammer

...et stramt fortalt periodekærlighedsdrama med en hyperaktuel, politisk agenda sitrende ud fra hvert et billede og hver en replik. Det her er verden set og drømt på ny igennem et kvindeligt blik.

There’s almost no single moment in Portrait of a Lady on Fire that couldn’t be captured, mounted, and hung on a wall as high art.

...is its own, wondrous, magnificent thing; a complete artistic vision where every directorial step is refined and each thematic probe, seamlessly weaved in.

...French filmmaker Céline Sciamma gives the Gothic romance a feminist workout.

...a superbly elegant, enigmatic drama(...) that compels a shiver of aesthetic pleasure and fear.
