Why not make it two-for-two this week on good things? If you had not heard already, “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” started streaming suddenly on Hulu Friday. The news was one of the few pleasant surprises we’ve been given lately. And despite my COVID-19-inspired social distancing anxieties about certain scenes, the movie is truly a perfect watch for these times. Quiet, thoughtful, romantic, isolated. The isolation – in a world truly only of women – is glorious. Plus, you really can't go wrong with chanting along the fireside. This movie will make you yearn for wind-swept glances and kisses on cliff tops. Also, the whole team behind the movie is basically awesome, particularly Adèle Haenel. Right, so, seems like time for another rewatch. Maybe then we can end this infernal March on a good note.
This movie gives me life! And the same goes for the fire that is burning inside of Adèle Haenel, what a g*dd*mn fine woman.
ReplyDeletePS: UK (and prob international peeps) can also stream the movie on Curzon Home.
Stay safe and healthy Dorothy , and thanks for info for other streaming option from fridax.

Man, I just love them all so much! Like Fridax said, this movie (and its creators) give me life in this dark time. I've already watched it twice since it came onto Hulu.
