Portrait of a Lady on Fire (Celine Sciamma, 2020) Movie • Page 3

Various old timey abortion techniques- run, jump, fall, drink alcohol, cut off oxygen supply, tea made from herbs known to help start your period. The old woman likely just went in with a sharp object and scrambled things around to force a miscarriage. I was in tears for most of this sequence because it’s so devastating to think about the lengths women have had to go through to maintain autonomy over their bodies and how we aren’t really so far removed from that time.

 

This was fantastic. The cinematography is breathtaking as well.

 

well this was phenomenal

 

handling quarantine well

 

Yeeeeeesssss An Unmarried Woman! I just rewatched my terrible copy a few weeks ago and was whining about them needed to release it. Great news in a bad time.

 

Neon said the date for the Criterion release is 6/23

 

Oh man I saw the thread bump and had a tiny bit of hope that Neon decided to throw this up as a $20 rental.

 

Incredible. Also how??

 

I’m surprised Neon hasn’t made this available on-demand yet. Nobody is out seeing movies right now and it still has a lot of good buzz around it.

 

Salut

 

Wait. So people can see it for free on Hulu and pay for it on demand in April? I guess that makes sense if you just want to buy it on iTunes or something.

 

AMAZING

 

I guess not everyone has Hulu and it's a rights issue

 

Yeeessss. Already planning to get the Criterion, but this is great news.

 

That makes sense too.

 

Yeah I’m definitely buying the Criterion but I am sure as hell going to watch this on Hulu for now.

 

Fuck yes, I finally get to see this. Probably won’t make it till 3am but required viewing tomorrow.

 

I couldn’t imagine waiting for 3 am for this. It’s so quiet and slow moving (in a good way ), I’d fall right asleep.

 

Really enjoyed this

 

Welp, this broke me. Didn’t know much going in, didn’t know it’d be so emotional
