Romantic costume drama, with French dialogue and subtitles.
Set in the 18th century, staring two young women. One is an aristocrat, who has been betrothed, the other is an artist, who has been commissioned to secretly provide a portrait of the reluctant bride to be, so secretly that she needs do this from memory.
Over the course of the movie they become lovers, the romance and limited sexual scenes are depicted from a female point of view. This movie defines the slow burner, but the cinematography is captivating, each scene (particularly the candle-lit parts) resemble a Vermeer. Recommended.
