CANNES 2019: PORTRAIT DE LA JEUNE FILLE EN FEU BY CÉLINE SCIAMMA
By Mónica Delgado
Céline Sciamma takes as an inspiration some imaginaries about sisterhood through the times, to appropriate them and return them inside a tal of a lesbian love at the end of XIX century. An abortion, a night gathering of women where they sing and meet around the fire, hallucinogenic potions which are absorbed when scrubbed in the skin appear in different passages of Portrait de la jeune fille en feu, her second film.
