Waiting for a Lady on Fire

Good things come to those who wait, like this post and the self-declared “cinema’s greatest love story.” The folks behind “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” are making us wait, and wait some more, to see the film. Instead of opening wide this year, it will take its time and open wide on Valentine’s Day. Now, if you’re lucky enough to live in New York or Los Angeles you can see it for a one-week engagement starting Dec. 6. But the rest of us will have to wait until the heart-shaped candy replaces the Christmas trees and glowing Santa Clauses in the stores. Also, “Cinema’s Greatest Love Story?” Well, now it better really be worth the wait, because that’s a lot to live up to.

“Cinema’s Greatest Love Story?” Bold, very bold claim

Sorry you have to wait that long! 😟
But in my opinion this film is definitely worth the wait! 😍😍

If the French say it's "Cinema's greatest love story"... Believe it.

And as per usual, I'll have to wait till it's on DVD and buy it, from Amazon, because no stores here will have it.

We have marriage equality here in South Africa, but we're still fighting against the bigots. The struggle never ends.

I wouldn't close it in "Love Story" box. I mean it is the main theme, but it is so much more. It's the best movie I've seen in years, period. Prime example of cinema, that deserves the name of Art. Definitely worth the wait.
