- 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire' (2019) Director: Céline Sciamma. Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a slow-burn romance in the best way possible. It's set at the end of the 1700s and follows two women on an island: one is a painter tasked with painting a wedding portrait of the other woman, who's mysterious and reserved, yet soon the two reveal their feelings for one another, and so begins a passionate yet short-lived romance.
