Portrait of a Lady on Fire showed up on many film enthusiasts' "Best Of" lists for 2019. It also showed up on Don and Chuck's "We Should Do This For the Podcast" list for nearly a year. And here it is! Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a beautiful French film about the relationship between a painter and her subject - a young woman due to be married off to a rich man overseas. As the two grow closer, the sparks of attraction burn ever brighter. Unfortunately, systems of oppression might mean their relationship can be nothing more than a fleeting fling. Well acted, written, and directed, the film helps Don and Chuck discuss those systems of oppression as well as the liberty of solitude, the freedom of choice, and the way brief encounters with the right people can affect us for the rest of our lives.
