"It's how we feel when we fall in love - we patiently hope that it's mutual, that it's building patiently. But inside, we are so impatient." - Celine

brilliant comment by noemie at the end when she talks about the first portrait as a metaphor for being stuck in a patriarchal, male gaze culture without even realizing it. but the second portrait is a collaboration and a love story which makes the art more truthful as it allows the artist to find herself and her unique voice. most films i've seen are the first portrait. and it's not just because men have made them but because they are missing the element of the second portrait; they are too busy being praised for maintaining the rules, conventions, and ideas of "patriarchally cultured" filmmaking. this film is definitely one we've been missing. which is probs why i sobbed uncontrollably for 10 minutes afterwards. honestly, we need more heloises in this world who aren't afraid to tell artists to get their shit together.

Great answer by Adele Haenel - when confronted to work on sex scene in the film industry and how director Celine Sciamma protected her and Noemie Merlant from this uncomfortable moment. Unlike other directors who are lack of ideas and treat women as objects rather than subjects. Bravo to everyone who has worked on this beautiful movie, especially our wonderful womans :)

Lead actresses are so talented & full of chemistry with each other, makes the film definitely 1 of the best. The director truly talented.

9:04 adèle and noemie are such daddies lol we gay

these women are so powerful. céline’s quote about giving back the blood to historical women gave me chills. this movie conjured the dead and made us see them, like a lot of the best art. and it makes us see ourselves.

As a french, i'm very proud that french cinema is represented, outside the country, by these woman. These a lot of really good french films, but most of the time, they don't get the recognition outside of France. So it makes the succes of "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" even more satisfying.

I absolutely love the way that Adele, being an actress, has absolute control over her mannerisms, facial expressions and body language, and yet the way she presents herself in real life is so unique and organic. She’s just so mesmerising

they had matching clothes in this im crying

Celine:But you trust me Adele:I choose it That's so sweet

20:30 Noemie asks Adèle what a score is🥺

Still not entirely certain if they said "female gaze" of "female gays" either way I agree and I have decided to stan As a lesbian I will be staying, thank you

They didn’t kiss or smile until 1.20mins, I’m glad Celine mentioned that, phenomenal film

6:55 I love Noemie Merlant a lot ❤️

4:47 it's how we feel when we fall in love" *noemie looks at adèle* dassdgtrhgsU omgays

Yes! Céline succeeded. I left the theater feeling awed and grateful that good, inspiring films are still being made. This movie by far is the best one I have ever seen.

0:18 yes more of that please, Adèle and Noémie ❤️

Chelin Sciama kind of did in this film what Sarah Waters does with her novels. A very generous act of love and giving back to women in all ages. I love them both. I adored this movie.

The amount of talent,beauty and intelligence that these women have is amazing.

Best of the decade.

This was my favorite mediator/interviewer/presenter of a panel EVER! Congratulations, man! You'r funny, light, not disrespectful. I really loved it! A round of applause!

I love how noemie is really connected in every interviews with adele and celine, shes really close to them. Unlike to any others interviews of her films shes really distant. Here, feels like shes home with them?

I find Noemie so calm. Her beauty is different 😍

Noémie Merlant's smile is everything.

Appreciate an interviewer that loves the film as much as the audience.

They may have been asked the same questions more than once but just listening to them and trying to intellectually answer the questions creatively makes me admire them more and English isn't even their first language but they gracefully sent the ideas and thoughts across. Brilliant artists and people.

Such powerful words. You can see how deeply Céline has thought about those concepts, and how strongly she believes in what is not only her opinion, but her choice on how to lead her life. And she's sharing it with us with the greatest possible grace. I don't know about you, other youtube watchers, but that's the kind of role model I want for me and my people.

beautiful film. without a doubt my favorite of 2019

Fave film of 2019, maybe even of all time... so exquisite

6:52 shy Adèle is just so cuteee

Best film of the year and one of my favourite films of the decade

Noemie is beautiful😍

19:29 Adele is such a badass.... I love herrrrrrrrrr ..... ADELENATION!

*The Best Lines and quotes from this Interview, Because I think this Interview is just as well written & portrayed as the movie POALOF-* C- 0:33 (1:04) A- 1:20 (1:45 & 2:03 Muppet 😂) N- 2:22 (2:40 It's the stories that I've never read, something that I've been Missing & 2:55 Power of this love story was so much alive in this screenplay, Huge promise, to meet Marianne at the audition, she was so alive, so modern) C- 3:38 (believing in patience & delay, that you'll speak that language & live that rhythm, 4:30 - "they're kinda moody they could smile a bit"... _Yeah! But NO_ ; It's how we feel when we fall in love - _we patiently hope that it's mutual_ , *that it's building patiently* . _But inside, we are so impatient._ ) A- 5:00 (5:40 _I think the way that we play has really much to do with _*_music_* ; Not being afraid of the *_silence_* , and just leaving the *_room_* for the other, It's all a matter of *_melody_* that we would *_compose together_* ; *We are **_different instrument_** but we work well together* ; working together was a real pleasure and also very difficult and I mean difficult in a good way you know _because we were looking for something very precise_ ) N- 6:23 she was a really intense actress, that I admire a lot; because you can be always surprised and it was a good surprise 7:25 we built this relation, this collaboration between Heloise and Marianne at the same time _as we built our collaboration together_ Host- "the way this movie plays out regardless of it being in the 18th century it feels radical and current for today" C- _I didn't want the movie to be anachronistic at all._ I worked really really hard, documented myself really hard, and work also with sociologists of the arts who were specialists of this specific period that _everything is historically accurate_ I think you know the project was *_to give back them their bodies, the rush of blood - this woman from the past to give back their presence_* and I think it's not it's _I didn't want to wink at the present from the past_ you know so I didn't want it to be modern *_I just wanted to make them alive_* A- we didn't rehearse together but it doesn't mean that we didn't work separately; _basically, it's easy just get to learn your lines_ *perfectly* *_so you'll be free after to compose a new melody to also destroy what should be obvious in your line_* it's a way *_there's always creativity_*_ in the fact that you would change the meaning of the line what because you change the way of saying it_ from my perspective I worked more around also an intellectual idea or artistical idea that would be I wanted to build a character that would *_portray the journey between being an object to being a subject_* so this was my idea from the beginning of *my secret plan* in a way from the beginning of the shooting so this was the thing I try to create to include to my acting *_this journey that would involve the slide in the way of acting from the beginning to the end of the movie_* N- 11:28 *_what I did is observe a lot_* Ellen and try to _catch the gaze of the painter, the gaze of the artist_ because I kind of made a mix of a lens gaze and Celine's gaze *_because I think painter as all artists have this particular gaze which is a really concentrated gaze, really mystic also which is a mix of looking in observe the details, the contrast for a painter and also of a more global vision of what you do and what you want to share_* and I was really trying to catch this and then there is all the technique and the gesture and the rhythm of the painter between the model and the canvas and you know it's three steps back through these three steps towards the canvas this kind of the dance of the painter that I was trying to catch.

‘What inspired me was to be inspiring’, Man this woman😂👏🏾👏🏾

back from the past when Adele was only 17, the way she express herself and the way she moves didnt change.. and so for Celine.. 😸 soooo cute.. and Noemie's smile is captivating making Adele to smile secretly...😍❤❤❤❤❤

I absolutely adore this movie, two extremely gorgeous talented actresses and a very creative writer/director. This is by far one of the best films I have ever seen.

Obviously really disappointed with the changes at Collider. But SO pleased you're giving a platform to this amazing film. And great to hear one of the best directors of the last ten years talk about her work.

interviewer: do you know what rotten tomatoes is?? Adele: Nope... and then she's like "Of course who doesn't??"... She is sooooooo adorable. Just like a baby.

the film and this trio is such a blessing... celine is amazing with her vision and her words and nomemie and adele were so brilliant with their characters. also they're the cutest people ever :')

i watched portrait 4 times in 36 hours :/

"For your own souvenir, your own remembrance", wow!

Loved the film it is a masterpiece Adele and Noemi are amazing ! Celine is a genius!!!

What a wonderful love story at the end when she approaches the painting and see’s the book on her lap with her finger on page 28 my heart dropped still in love🏳️‍🌈❤️

Finished watching it today and loved it. The ending where Heloise is at the theatre and vivaldi starts, wow. Going to watch it again with the missus.

0:19 look at those hands, it's just the beginning of the video. And I feel gay already 😅

Im just amazed how Adele and the director still get along, very mature. Apparently they had a romantic relationship years ago but they ended in good terms. Thanks for this movie to all three of them.

Fortunately I found this after I saw the movie! Great insights.

This film is about the female gaze, loving, natural caring for all - beautifully inspiring!

great interview. love Noemie's response at the end about how they feel about the success of the film.

Absolutely adore this film!!!

I really want to see this film, herd it's one of the best of year and will be added to the criterion collection

I fall more and more in love with these three!

I love these women! I want more🥳🍾🥂

I’m late but Adèle’s outfit KILLS 🔥

i just want to tell you that this is not the first time I've been here, I just can't get over this movie

6:38, their interaction is so sweet!!

The interviewer was really good! Great questions.

the English is incredible - some wrong words and/or tenses BUT THE STRUCTURE is amazing

Beautiful complicity gaze between Céline and Noémie 9'51. What a lovely work these "womens" did together!

the power of the "gays"

Great interview - I do wish I could see a French interview (with eng subtitles) to see them express their thoughts without a language barrier

This was great. Good job everyone.

Wonderful movie, amazing women.

Beautiful film

This movie was so good. Simple but profound. So well made.

Noemie is strangely beautiful Adele is beautifully strange ❤️

Great movie, amazing acting from the both of these wonderful actresses.

What a great interview! Thanks for sharing :)

Estar viva e apreciar uma arte tão linda como esse filme acalentou meu coração e está me deixando revirada há dias. Maravilhosas, muito grata, sem dúvidas o melhor filme que já vi

“- where did you find this place to film this? - as you mean... - the location - oh I thought the sex scene 🙂 We can really only talk about the sex scene 🤓” You’re the best Céline! 🤣🤣🤣

Loving this trio so muuuuch! 🖤

Wow, Adeele speaking whole sentences and how insightful! Too often we assume people from history don't share the same emotions, hopes and feelings that we do now. So yes, Celine had to make the characters real and nothing more, and let the story run

There needs to be a sequel where they get together forever

Love love love them so much 😍😍😍😍

The fact that a movie with NO explicit sex scene portrayed more passion that a film with one 10 minute sex scene & multiple others.... huh, maybe that’s what happens when lesbians write lesbian characters & a lesbian actress plays a lesbian. Who would’ve thought!

loved the movie!!!

Great interview and insights behind the scenes of this beautiful film, thanks!

Enamorada de estás mujeres 😍😍😍 Pero más de Nohemí ❤️❤️😍😍😍

I don’t understand how many dislike this GOOD AND IMPORTANT content can have...I just don’t get it.

Come on girls, what are you waiting for?... The looks of each other are in a FIRE. Noemi magnificent actricce and soul. ^_^

Still need to see this.

the “this is what collaboration is” hit

Great interviewer!

언니들 사랑해❤❤❤ 감독님 손잡고 한국 와ㅠㅠ

The power of Gayze！

beat movie ever，

0:18 👀

Voilà! Such a great love story ~ reimagined cinema fantastique! Marguerite

노에미~아델~사랑해요.~ 한국 한번만 놀러와줘용❤️❤️

Gaze.. im loving the word...gaze.😂

Celine is brilliant, and her choice not to have a score in the film was absolutely perfect. For me, it's what made the story even more real. And what I love about this is just how meta the message of this movie is. It's about Marianne breaking free from conventions and restrictions of art and society to express herself as she is (the painting, and her love for Heloise), and it's also echoed in Celine choosing not to follow the conventional romantic period drama by not including a score. She did what she thought was true of the story telling, and it paid off tremendously. There are long, uncomfortable silences where the characters are thinking and figuring themselves out. The realism of that would've been taken away with a score that would've filled those silences with swelling emotions of yearning, sadness, etc. Without the score, we were able to experience interactions for what they were without rose-tinted glasses, and that added to the intensity/tension between characters. This isn't to say that having a score is wrong; comparing this to Carol, I wouldn't say Carol shouldn't have had a score. It was a different story told through a different lense. There was even less dialogue between the characters who were not as forthcoming as Marianne and Heloise, and the music was necessary to fill in the gaps about their emotions. Celine had a unique story with a unique lense, and I think she did it great justice. I agree with all the choices she made

26:04 Noemie: MySpace? Adele: Who knows? Just let him talk.

The dislikes ???!

I love the French accent!

7:48 Adele and Celine sharing a look. ❤

I love celine👍👍👍

Postscript- 20 years pass . Heloise becomes a rich widow. She goes to Paris to commission a painting from Marianne’s shop. Their eyes meet. Marianne speaks. “You are the same, Beautiful.”

Love Scott Mantz... King of Movie Release Dates 👑😊

I've seen other interviews without Noemie and Adele's behavior is totally normal. She looks totally quiet and relaxed. But if Noemie appears, Adèle loses control! 😂😂🙈
