Portrait of a lady on fire (2019): staging vulnerability

Abstract

Cultural productions in their vast extension (literature, cinema, theater, radio, television, music, among others) spread discourses on love and interpersonal relationships that seek to homogenize affections, circumscribing them to characteristics associated with “good” ways of love. Intrinsically related ways with heterosexuality, monogamy and the reproduction of capitalism as the only way of being in the world.

In this work we will interrogate the film Portrait of a woman on fire (2019) by Céline Sciamma, to draw an answer around which tools can be used by cinematographic discourses to expand fictional limits and (re)create, through of a turn in the stylistic-narrative decisions, other modes linking that advocate the staging of stories that inhabit the margins of the “correct” ways of loving.
