Description
Book Introduction
Prism of No. 36, Portrait of a Lady on Fire
From her feature debut, Water Lilies, to her latest, Petite Maman, Celine Sciamma has consistently explored female/queer identity and love.
“Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” which made Celine Sciamma’s name known in Korea, was also born from this trend.
The reason this film is constantly being talked about and loved is, above all, because it delicately captures the emotions of the women sharing the love through the eyes of the people involved.
Prism of Issue No. 36, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, takes the world of Celine Sciamma as its starting point and analyzes multi-layered elements such as gaze, music, images of water and fire, class, and mythology in the film through the gazes of female lovers towards each other.
Furthermore, it sheds new light on Portrait of a Lady on Fire by re-examining the painting in the film within the context of art history, expanding its perspective to include the activities of contemporary French female directors and various lesbian period dramas.
