Details

Céline Sciamma's heart-breaking period piece arrives on 4K UHD for the first time. Told with a distinctly modern feminist energy, Portrait of a Lady on Fire was the first female-directed film to win the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019, and has already cemented itself as a modern classic.

On an isolated island in Brittany at the end of the eighteenth century, painter Marianne (Noémie Merlant) is commissioned by an affluent countess to paint the wedding portrait of her sheltered but headstrong daughter Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), in the hope it will find her a wealthy husband.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire is released on Limited Edition 4K UHD 16th November 2026 from Curzon Film.
