In 18th-century Brittany, painter Marianne is commissioned to create a wedding portrait of Héloïse without her knowledge. As Marianne observes her subject closely, a passionate and forbidden love ignites between them — one that will be preserved only in art and memory.

Why watch it

Winner of Best Screenplay at Cannes. On an isolated island in 18th-century France, love grows out of the act of looking — painter and model, gaze for gaze. Céline Sciamma's rigorously female-gaze direction keeps it at the very top of best-lesbian-film lists.
