The story of "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" is mostly told through cinematography. The way the characters stares at each other really transfers the tension growing between them to the viewer. This plays out brilliant in the way the characters unfolds and start to see each other as equals, both in real life and in the making of the portrait.
The cinematography, which is done by Clarie Mathon, resembles a classic piece of art, a sort of a moving portrait of the lives of french women in the late 1700's. As a big fan of cinematographic storytelling, I must say that this is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
