Portrait de la Jeune Fille en Feu

Portrait of a Lady on Fire is all around pretty wonderful. It's sexy and funny and the script is exquisite. It didn't hit me emotionally in all of the ways I wanted it to, but I admired this film a great deal, and Adèle Haenel is absolutely brilliant in it.

This was the last film I saw before the movie theatres shut down for the coronavirus. There were just three people in the theatre, including me. Glad I got to see it when I had the chance.
