Celine Sciamma's PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE (2019)

Much could be made of what just isn't here --
No music and no men, and yes, no pow'r
Imbalances, except, eschewing fear,
Officially. 'Tis right that we did show'r
This wonder with awards, effusive praise, 
Superlatives. Within this ladies' world
It's all about the loving female gaze
Bestowed and, too, received in trust, unfurled
Among a set of equals. This is so 
Refreshing I near failed to notice that
They play Egyptian Ratscrew by the glow 
Of candles. And of course it's lovely; at
The very least it will pull at your heart.
It's also simply stunning vis'ual art!
