Celine Sciamma is the most visible and important feminist, and
lesbian, director in contemporary international filmmaking. Her
fourth feature, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, competed for the Palme
d'Or at Cannes in 2019 and intervened directly in debates about the
female gaze, sexuality and specifically how to look at and make a
portrait of young women. In her approach to female, non-binary and
queer identities, she has focused on the need for agency, binding
this imperative into her aesthetic choices and modes of filmmaking.
This is the first book-length study of Sciamma's films, focusing on
the relationship of her work to the visual arts and exploring the
relevance of feminist theory to her unique perspective.
