American cartoonist Adrian Tomine uses the graphic novel to do what that other form of literature — the standard gray-words-on-white-paper short story — simply hasn’t been able to achieve. Like any writer, he can go inside his characters’ heads, taking the X-ray of their most private insecurities and rendering it visible to the reader. “Is there a term for being paranoid about being paranoid?” asks the young woman in “Amber Sweet,” who is not the internet porn star of the story’s title but realizes that others see a resemblance and starts to worry that it’s ruining her life.
Not limited by words, Tomine can also show people’s faces, examining the way their expressions and body language change across a sequence of frames — revealing and concealing what they’re really feeling. These latter tools bring the medium far closer to cinema than the written word and may explain why...

The title of Céline Sciamma’s “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” implies that her subversively seductive film will focus on the subject of its titular painting — an 18th-century woman who refuses to pose, in defiance of the arranged marriage into which she’s being forced — when it’s just as much a portrait of the artist responsible. How fitting, when one considers that Sciamma, the writer-director of “Water Lilies,” has adoringly crafted this project for that film’s star, Adèle Haenel, who beguiles audiences here with all that’s hidden behind her Mona Lisa smile.
One of four female-made features to premiere in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, “Portrait” dares to engage directly with the questions of representation and gender that seem to have flummoxed the film industry of late, broadening its focus to the subject of womanhood itself at a time documented almost exclusively by men.

Shining bright like a diamond, Céline Sciamma makes her way into the comp for a first time with her fourth feature film. Portrait of a Lady on Fire see the filmmaker reteam with herWater Lilies starlet Adèle Haenel — that debut film was selected for for the Un Certain Regard section in 2007. She would follow that with the Berlin entry Tomboy (she also wrote Being 17 which shored up at the same fest) and the third part in her coming of age trilogy in the Directors’ Fortnight Girlhood. Featuring Valeria Golino as La Comtesse and Haenel as Héloïse, set in 1760, this historical drama is more the story of Marianne — the painter goes outside the traced lines and becomes invested in much more than the paint job at hand.…...

Of course a filmmaker of André Téchiné’s standing doesn’t simply “toss off” a feature, but it remains dispiriting that a director who can make emotionally trenchant movies — including the recent success “Being 17” — is also able to turn out duds like “Farewell to the Night.” Though “based on an original idea,” there’s very little originality in this story of a woman (Catherine Deneuve) discovering her grandson has been radicalized by Islamist extremists. As one of the more inclusive Western directors when it comes to Arab talent, Téchiné aims for a bit of character balance, but in the end, the film stumbles into the usual banal pitfalls and features some truly lamentable scenes. A modest Euro release is the best that can be expected.

What already looked on paper like an intriguing collaboration pans out into something quite extraordinary in Being 17, an ultra-naturalistic slice of rocky adolescent life that combines violence and sensuality, wrenching loss and tender discovery.
Inevitable comparisons will be made to director Andre Techine's most personal film, Wild Reeds, which also explored the destabilizing force of teenage desire in a rural setting ruptured by a distant war. Likewise, a connective tissue can be traced to the limpid gaze of co-writer Celine Sciamma's coming-of-age stories about sexual identity: Water Lilies, Tomboy and Girlhood. But Being 17 is more expansive in scope and richer in tone ...
