unfumble:PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE (2019) | title treatment series [8/?]Céline Sciamma on the film’s depiction of sorority & utopiaPeople are telling me, “Oh, your film is a utopia.” And I’m like, “Yeah, but our utopias are not ideas we have in our minds. They’re not things we wish we were living. They’re rooted in our own experience.” I know about sorority, I know about an all-women world. It’s not a utopia. It’s part of my life. And that’s what I rely on to make these images. [Vox]But when we talk about utopia, I think that our own utopias are not dreams that we have. We live them. That’s why we hope for them as a system or as possibilities for others. I know sorority. I know being only with women. It’s not my every day, every hour. But I know it, that’s why I can portray it. Utopia is about what we live, sometimes for minutes. [Jezebel] -- source link
