The only movie I remember that resembles slightly but not quite the visual style of this movie is Phantom Thread. And I adored that way of telling a story mainly through visuals ...but I have to say that ''Portrait de la jeune fille en feu'' exceeds all my previous experiences with visual storytelling. It bewitches me!
I wished so much it would make me feel more intense feelings while watching it but then I realised it's not necessarily a lachrymose film. For me it's that kind of movie that you watch, understand but never fully grasp it, has a powerful impact upon you and after it ended it starts to have a second, even more powerful effect as you think back about it. A piece of art, not just a one-time experience.
A 10 out of 10 from me.
