Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)
Movie
Released
The relationship develops through looking closely enough for another person to become more than the role assigned to her. Its closing movement lets memory preserve that knowledge without pretending it can supply the future the lovers deserve. The sadness matters because it keeps affection distinct from possession, with the final attention to a face doing more than a reunion could.
