A piercing observer in the sublime Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Noémie Merlant plays the eagerly observed in the erotic drama Curiosa and turns in a performance equally as convincing. Starring as a turn-of-the-20th-century novelist and poet Marie de Régnier, Marant evinces none of the cool reserves that concealed the intense passions of her Portrait painter character. This Marie is brazenly passionate, a joyously liberated woman among a close-knit circle of libertine artists that includes her husband Henri de Régnier (Benjamin Lavernhe) and her lover, the famous poet Pierre Louÿs (Niels Schneider).

For the most part, Henri is unaware of his wife’s yearslong affair with his handsome friend Pierre — despite Marie and Pierre’s very apparent affection, and only token efforts to remain discreet. Pierre even spins their liaisons into published poetry and prose, disguising the identities of all involved. Yet the lovers manage to keep their clandestine relationship to themselves. They do, however, spend a lot of time with a third party not known for keeping secrets: a camera. Avid photographer Pierre likes to shoot Marie nude in explicitly erotic poses, thus leaving a photographic trail that, to this day, still shocks and intrigues viewers.
Marie and Pierre's risk being discovered, but Marie seems not to fear the prospect too greatly. Writer-director Lou Jeunet and co-screenwriter Raphaëlle Desplechin give us a sensual, headstrong heroine who gets a kick out of subverting the patriarchal system that saw her parents marry her off to Henri against her wishes. Marie’s a woman ahead of her time, presented in crisp period costumes, her dalliances set to composer Arnaud Rebotini’s vibrantly modern electro-classical score. What the filmmakers don’t give us is a compelling take on how Marie channeled her maverick, carnal energy into her own art or other pursuits. Marie de Régnier, née de Hérédia, published volumes of prize-winning poetry and fiction, some under the pseudonym Gérard d’Houville, but Curiosa doesn’t establish her artistic ambition or professional success.
