Sophie: "It's terrible, poor woman, why did he look back? Tell him not to look back and he still looked back for no reason. Where would he look back at her out of fear of losing her? That's not a reason, I told him not to look back. of."

Heloise: "He's so in love, it's irresistible."

Marianne: "He can resist, his reasons are not valid. Maybe he just made a choice, he chose to leave memories of her, so he looked back at her. What he made was not a love choice, but a poetic choice choose."

Heloise: "'She murmured a last goodbye, which was almost out of his ear, and fell into the abyss again' Maybe she said something behind her back: look back."

I saw some discussions of Eurydice's story a long time ago, and the explanation given was: "The moment is eternity." This dialogue in this film can be said to be a topic. Sophie's explanation represents common sense, Marianne still sees Eurydice as a crop, and only Heloise discovers Eurydice as the subject. And their stories are like this fable.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire quotes

  • Marianne: You're saying nothing?

    Héloïse: Is that me?

    Marianne: Yes.

    Héloïse: Is that how you see me?

    Marianne: It's not only me.

    Héloïse: What do you mean, not only you?

    Marianne: There are rules, conventions, ideas.

    Héloïse: You mean there's no life? No presence?

    Marianne: Your presence is made up of fleeting moments that may lack truth.

    Héloïse: Not everything is fleeting. Some feelings are deep. The fact it isn't close to me, that I can understand. But I find it sad it isn't close to you.

    Marianne: How do you know it isn't close to me? I didn't know you were an art critic.

    Héloïse: I didn't know you were a painter.

  • Marianne: I can't make you smile. I feel I do it and then it vanishes.

    Héloïse: Anger always comes to the fore.

    Marianne: Definitely with you. I didn't mean to hurt you.

    Héloïse: You haven't hurt me.

    Marianne: I have, I can tell. When you're moved, you do this with your hand.

    Héloïse: Really?

    Marianne: Yes. And when you're embarrassed, you bite your lips. And when you're annoyed, you don't blink.

    Héloïse: You know it all.

    Marianne: Forgive me, I'd hate to be in your place.

    Héloïse: We're in the same place. Exactly the same place. Come here. Come. Step closer. Look. If you look at me, who do I look at? When you don't know what to say, you touch your forehead. When you lose control, you raise your eyebrows. And when you're troubled, you breathe through your mouth.
