Both Noemie Merlant and Adele Haenel show a spectacular performance in the Portrait of a Lady on Fire. But I think we should give extra credit for Adele Haenel because of her performance and natural expressiveness.
The movie was very slow at the beginning but after Héloïse (Adele Haenel) has been appeared everything changes, and of course, Céline Sciamma, the director of the movie, really did a good job especially emphasizing the details in the scenes.
Great movie.
When I think of Pedro Almodovar, I often feel like a synesthetic person who experiences dance of colors. His movies are always full of colors. He is one of the greatest directors of our time. "Pain and Glory" is a very emotional, very colorful, and very touching film. Of course, we should mention the great performance of Banderas in this film. We can feel whatever he feels in the movie.
