WEDNESDAY NIGHT WATCH PARTY: “PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE” (Hybrid – In-Person at NSK Location and on Zoom)
Wednesday, June 24, 6:00–8:00 p.m.
On a remote island off the coast of eighteenth century France, a painter is commissioned to complete a wedding portrait of a young woman who refuses to be seen. What begins as an act of quiet observation becomes something neither woman can look away from — a love story told in stolen glances, crashing waves, and the aching beauty of a moment that cannot last.
Céline Sciamma’s masterpiece is a film about desire, memory, and what it means to truly look at another person. Visually stunning and emotionally devastating, it has earned its place among the great romantic films of our time.
Rated: R; Genre: Historical Romance/Drama; Run Time: 2 hours, 2 minutes
Please note this film is in French with English subtitles and rated R for some nudity and sexuality.
Registration required, no fee.
