This movie reminded me of the basic principles of cinema, of what differentiates it from mere entertainment and makes it art.
It makes everything simple and immensely dense at once. What it does best - the beautiful landscape shots, the sensible dialogue, the nuance with every sigh, every whisper - it seems to do effortlessly. It often doesn't look rehearsed (I think Céline Sciamma even mentioned that she wanted the dialogue to seem improvised) it's filled with silences during which the characters look at each other, they truly look, as if the study prior to painting transcends into reality. At one point it becomes unclear whether Marianne is observing Héloïse because she has to or because she wants to. We see it all happen : slowly at first, and then without restraint, in a commotion. Something blooms in the characters' eyes.
There is an emotional movement in the film that is independent from any medium other than the image. There are no soaring strings to help elevate the emotion. It stays raw, and we can't help but live it with the characters as it is. We are never shielded from reality. Instead, we are forced to keep our feet firmly planted as every scene delightfully unfolds right in front of us. Music appears only twice, otherwise the music is the language, the sound of waves, the sound of breaths, the sound of paintbrush against canvas. The long takes are so steady and delicate, you might not even notice them until the cuts takes you by surprise (this shows how seldom they seem to occur. There is a sense of huis clos in the painting sequences, as if the characters cannot escape one another and, as a result, are almost forced into a slow duel of piercing gazes, biting remarks and heavy silence. Their love is left untamed and vainly restrained, and it soon begins to burn and crackle, and when it finally bursts out, it leaves no one unscathed : the result is a beautiful yet powerful phenomenon, like the waves that roll and crash around the island.
Céline pours such depth in everything she creates and there is so much to be said about this film. I hope she gets rightfully recognized for all she gives to the art of film.
