	Review: The Portrait of a Lady
		The Portrait of a Lady, the first motion picture adaptation of James' beloved classic, presents a stark contrast to the light-and-sunny Austen movies.
		The Portrait of a Lady is a difficult story to film, and Jane Campion and screenwriter Laura Jones have done an admirable job with this adaptation.
		The result is a fascinating portrait not only of a lady, but of the society and marriage that entrap, then attempt to destroy, her.

		THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY paints the picture of the unhappiest of a woman whose fruit of life-long solitary experience turns out to be discernment of her short-coming.
		Perhaps an alternate title for The Portrait of a Lady might be The Velvet Pit and the Silk Pendulum.
		In THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY, Henry James continues his fascination with taking Americans out of their vulgar and moneyed new world environment and placing them in a stuffy but cultured old world, a comparison of which sometimes leads the reader to think that James himself sometimes could not prefer one over the other.

	The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James: Chapter 18
		It had occurred to Ralph that, in the conditions, Isabel`s parting with her friend might be of a slightly embarrassed nature, and he went down to the door of the hotel in advance of his cousin, who, after a slight delay, followed with the traces of an unaccepted remonstrance, as he thought, in her eyes.
		The lady was of course a visitor who had arrived during her absence and who had not been mentioned by either of the servants--one of them her aunt`s maid--of whom she had had speech since her return.
		The girl made these reflexions while the three ladies sat at their tea, but that ceremony was interrupted before long by the arrival of the great doctor from London, who had been immediately ushered into the drawing-room.

	The Portrait of a Lady
		And it is stymied by the story's finer subtleties, especially in its last scenes; there are nuances to "The Portrait of a Lady" that may simply have no visual or dramatic equivalent.
		And while this "Portrait of a Lady" shares visual beauty and a tough-minded spirit with "The Piano," the cumulative distancing effect of its quiet, sleepwalking style keeps it from being a success of that order.
		Also in "The Portrait of a Lady" are Mary-Louise Parker as Harriet Stackpole, the precociously obnoxious American journalist who is also Isabel's devoted friend; Shelley Duvall as Osmond's frilly, fatuous sister; Valentina Cervi as Pansy, the convent-raised daughter whom Osmond uses to his own best advantage, and Christian Bale as Edward Rosier, Pansy's suitor.

		It was occupied by a primary school for children of both sexes, kept or rather let go, by a demonstrative lady of whom Isabel's chief recollection was that her hair was fastened with strange bedroomy combs at the temples and that she was the widow of some one of consequence.
		Of course, among her theories, this young lady was not without a collection of views on the subject of marriage.
		It was by this term that he qualified her conversation, which had much of the "point" observable in that of the young ladies of her country, to whom the ear of the world is more directly presented than to their sisters in other lands.

		Instead, she is seduced by Gilbert Osmond (John Malkovich), an effete collector of art (and women) whom one character describes as a "sterile dilettante." How Isabel's life, and the lives of those who love her, are affected by this fateful (but irreversible?) decision is what the bulk of the film is about.
		Portrait of a Lady is lovely, heartbreaking, and at times terrifying--as only coming face-to-face with the consequences of one's own life-changing decisions can be.
		This is by far the best adaption of Portrait of a Lady I have yet seen.

	The Lady in the Frame: Two Portraits by Henry James and Jane Campion
		As a central symbolic motif the 'bolt' functions in The Portrait of A Lady in the same way as the 'key' does in Middlemarch, and thus seems to be another of James's specific references to the relationship obtaining between his and the earlier text.
		Campion has crafted a Gothic romance in which narrative progress is measured in disillusion and disenchantment, and by which the essential and essentially static nature of her Isabel is revealed, a stasis wrought by various forms of masculine constraint of the feminine, a stasis dramatically imaged in the final shot of the film.
		These portraits of Isabel Archer by different hands gaze at one another across a cultural and historical divide, each reading the other critically from their point of view, and each, in a way, affronting the destiny of the aesthetic medium in which they discover themselves.
