Céline Sciamma’s magical Petite maman is the tale of a young girl who comes face to face with her own mother as a small child. Here the director explains why the idea captivated her with the force of ancient mythology.

The film-maker talks to Alexandra Pollard about growing up gay at a time before the internet, male privilege in cinema, and why Wonder Woman changed her life

The film finds equality between its female characters by embracing the power dynamics that are possible when centuries of romantic road maps don’t easily apply.

In advance of the U.S. release of Céline Sciamma’s new film, “Petite Maman,” Elif Batuman writes about the French film director, who is best known for the international hit “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” and whose filmmaking is increasingly informed by her feminism, her lesbianism, and her determination to scrutinize received ideas.

Finally watched A Portrait of a Lady on Fire and... I knew it was going to be amazing but I was blown away. One of the best films of 2020, and some of the most beautiful cinematography I've ever seen. The framing, transitions, color grading, lighting, - masterful. Those LOOKS.
