Brace yourselves as we sit in the calm of the eye of the storm upon a small dinghy off the coast of a small island. All we have is a blank canvas, a fine green dress and love, so imprint this calm into your soul for this brief respite will soon end and all we will have is this memory.

This episode we are joined by a special guest to discuss the 2019 film Portrait of a Lady on Fire. France, 1770. Marianne, a painter, is commissioned to do the wedding portrait of Héloïse, a young woman who has just left the convent. Héloïse is a reluctant bride to be and Marianne must paint her without her knowing. She observes her by day, to paint her secretly.
