Review of Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) by Marjorie Baumgarten for Austin Chronicle — 19 Feb 2020
What the film excels at, however, is the anticipatory desire. It builds slowly, concluding with a stunning sequence that is all breathless remembrance and self-satisfaction that is both wordless and impalpable.
The film will seem the height of romantic desire to some, but will be a slow burn for others.
