1x1 With Kristian Harloff

Scott Mantz sits down with writer-director Céline Sciamma and stars Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel to discuss their film, Portrait of a Lady on Fire.Merlant stars as an artist who is hired to paint a portrait of Haenel that will be sent to a man who, if he likes what he sees, will ask for her hand in marriage. The two women embark on a forbidden romance captured in all its intimacy by Sciamma and her gifted cinematographer Claire Mathon.Mantz talks to the three women about their dynamic, as well as Sciamma’s use of light and shadow, which comes off much like a painting. He also inquires about the exquisite costumes and the tenderness of the love scenes, which emphasize a feminine perspective.Thanks to Arclight Cinemas for presenting Collider's FYC Screening Series!
