Céline explains she wrote the “don’t regret, remember” scene for the last audition of Noémie and how her chemistry with Adèle moved her
(Gifs made by the one and only @bereaving)
“This scene is a scene that was not written in the script and that I wrote at a specific moment, for the last round of audition. The moment when we chose Noémie Merlant.
I decided to write a scene dedicated to those chemistry tests. A scene that would allow me to evaluate the level of intimacy, complicity, melodrama, emotions. A scene where I had decided to put everything. A scene of goodbyes before the real goodbyes.
This scene is decisive, almost epiphanic, in the choice of Noémie Merlant.
I shot this scene I had written just an hour before, and it was moving. The scene worked and above all it worked between them. There was a great chemistry, a great complicity, a great friendship, a lot of seduction without seduction.
There was such a strong sentimental charge between them when I was filming the scene and my heart was beating fast and I said to myself “this is it”. I saw a great equality between these two lovers. And it was a new image and it was the image that we were going to make together.
It’s a top shot so, here, we really have all the machinery that is set up to be forgotten. To have God’s point of view in this intimate exchange. These are shots that makes your heart beat so hard.
The shooting of this scene is not a lot of takes, it’s four takes. Here not only we worked on the light, but also on the way their hair are illuminated, how they blossom. Something that makes them look like they could be all ages.”

“Marianne has her hands in her pockets and this is an important detail. That was an obsession during the costume design process. I absolutely wanted the character to have pockets. We had a collection of pockets with Noémie Merlant, she knew when she had to put her hands in her pockets.”
“This silhouette looks modern but it’s not anachronistic. Women had pockets at the time. The 19th century took them away, like many other things.”

(So Céline talked about the fact that this scene was supposed to end VERY differently here…. 🙃. Thank you again to @bereaving for the great GIFs!!)
“This scene.. it’s as if it had already taken place before being shot. First of all because it’s an absolutely pivotal scene. It’s the scene which marks the shot/reverse shot dynamic of the film.What’s the power of the person who’s watching? Who is watching whom?
And it’s also the scene that was used as the tests for the different actresses who were auditioning for Marianne, since Adèle Haenel was already signed on. And when we did the tests I played the model and the actresses played the painter, which was already pretty carnivalesque.
It’s very difficult to redo the scenes that we already visited during the tests. But it’s a scene that’s been edited a lot because it’s all about how you leave your shot to enter the counter shot, that is to say to enter the space of the other that is defined at the same time by our gaze.
Originally this scene of power shift and understanding of mutual power, was the scene of the first kiss. It seems pretty obvious actually.
*Céline stops talking and you can hear Héloïse say : "And when you are troubled, you breathe through your mouth” *
Here, before, she would say ”you’ve known me troubled ?“ and she would answer ”yes“ and they would kiss.
But we decided to go further.”

These images almost never show up together so here they go. Taken by Thomas Laisné these represent one of the most romantic editorials taken during the roll out of Portrait of a Lady on Fire in France.
There is an almost deliberate attempt in the lighting to have their eye colors match.
