Em nossa arrojada predestinação ao vigoroso e pugnaz, a natureza predatória nas distinções das espécies nos abençoou, (*ao estarmos acima da cadeia alimentar*), tudo o que está abaixo de nossos pés EXTINGUIU-SE!.

Céline Sciamma and Claire Mathon talk about the bonfire scene 

(Those beautiful Gifs were made by the one and only @bereaving !)

Céline : “This is obviously one of the biggest dreamed scenes of the film, one of the biggest structuring scenes.”

Claire : “I didn't want to be too realistic, too subjected to the flames. This sequence takes place entirely around the fire but we only see it a little. We put it at the beginning and then we kept this image for the shot of the portrait of the lady on fire. I wanted to make the background exist, to feel the vegetation by giving depth to the image, lighting up the mist. It also allowed me to be less monochromatic, to keep nuances in colors. It was really important for me to keep the warmth without losing nuances in the skin and the costumes.”

“For the light, it is a mix of artificial lights and the light of the fire. The fire was often replaced by gas burners to control the flames. These artificial sources allowed me again to choose the direction of the light on the faces, to keep the softness. Because a flame is a harsh light and created a variation of the light. The flickering of the flames was very present, too present, and prevailed over the expressions of the face.”

Céline : “The first musical scene of the film, a song composed for the film and which would like to be its anthem, and maybe the anthem of something else. The request was polyphony, polyrhythm, a very high BPM that evokes trance. The scene begins in a regular space, and with the idea that ultimately women who gather around a fire to drink and chat is friendship. And that maybe this is what we called witches. And then we summon this imaginary through this field and with the tools of cinema. We really start with a realistic sound, and by the way, these singers sang on set. But quickly too, we are going into a sound mix that is bigger than the scene, and we are not afraid to go there. Because this collective scene also becomes a love stake, and the song of these women accompanies them in the first smile, the first exchange of smile between the two characters after 1 hour and 10 minutes of film.”

“These words are from Latin, it’s a rough translation of Nietzsche that says «The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly » .”

“A desired image, an eponymous image: to literally set the character on fire.”

Claire : “I remember the moment when I felt how much a painting is not a photograph of the moment, but a much freer interpretation despite its realism.”

Portrait of a “Young Girl” on Fire

Ever since I watched Portrait of a Lady on Fire in 2019 (dir. Celine Sciamma), I can clearly say that  this movie haunted me, occasionally. I mean, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Its’ scene details, the visuals...there are lots of things about this movie and I can’t even explain it to myself. I watched this movie in the theater with a crazy crowd maybe it’s one of the reasons of my obsession. Even though POALOF is one of my favorite movies of all time, I couldn’t find the courage to re-watch it, probably because of the last scenes’(*) tension. The acting, director, color palletes, the naturalness..I mean...Everything about this movie has a special meaning for me. 

*: 

The other day while scrolling down Twitter, I saw “Filmloverss” link talking about details (facts) in this movie: I couldn’t read it without having goosebumps. This article reminded me of the movie again so I found something to write. I want to talk about these details which are very informative, actually. 

I was quite surprised when I learned that the director of the movie, Celine Sciamma, does not consider this movie as a love story since (from my point of view ofc) it’s one of the best love stories in last few decades. However, Celine Sciamma states that she wrote the role Héloïse  for her former lover Adèle Haenel, so I’m pretty sure it’s a love story. 

Another fact I found very interesting was; in the movie where Héloïse and Marianne went to a feast/bonfire (the scene where women sang together over the fire) all women beside fire repeating a line says: “non possunt fugere” which means “they can’t fly/ they can’t get high” in latin. Director Celine Sciamma specifically composed this melody and adds these words on purpose when she couldn’t find a ready-made song. She’s got inspired from Nietzsche’s “The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.” quote. Also, audience can hear these words in the credits. 

After all, there are few more facts in the link above (but in Turkish). I’m so glad that I had a chance to watch Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and learn about these facts.
