Thank God It’s Queer celebrates five years of Céline Sciamma’s PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE (2019)! Marianne (Noémie Merlant) is hired by a noblewoman (Valeria Golino) to to paint her daughter Héloïse (Adèle Haenel) before she's to be married—but Héloïse doesn't want to marry or sit for a portrait, so Marianne befriends her to memorize and paint her in secret. Once her mother leaves their island, Héloïse and Marianne find themselves alone, in love, and striving to make their lives as beautiful as a painting, if only for the little time they have together. PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE is a stunning new queer classic, a riveting love story, and a remarkable work of art in its own right.
