TIFF19: 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire' gathers momentum, but will France tap it for Oscar race?
), well acted and a bit slow but never dull, the film tells the story of two women brought together by unlikely circumstances. A countess in 1770s Brittany,
France’s northwesternmost region, has lost one of her two daughters to a suspicious death and is about to lose her other to an arranged marriage, but first retains the services of a female painter to capture the surviving daughter in a portrait that will then be sent ahead of the daughter to her betrothed. The catch? The daughter refused to pose for a prior artist, so this artist will have to pose as a walking companion by day and then paint from memory by night.
