- Abstract
Portrait of a Lady on Fire is the story of Marianne, a young and talented woman painter who paints portraits of a young lady Héloïse. As time goes by, their relationship changes emotionally. As one of the best feminist films, the “female gaze” and the core of feminism in the film are constantly analyzed and studied. However, this paper attempts to explore the “male gaze” in lesbian sexual relationships by analyzing the film’s audible language and related content. In the end, it was concluded that the “male gaze” does not only exist between the opposite sex, but in lesbian sexual relationships, the dominant party will still unconsciously stand in the position of “bystander”.
