Watched Mar 09, 2020 GeraldLovesCinema247’s review published on Letterboxd Led by two extremely powerhouse performances, resoundingly astute direction, immaculately stunning cinematography, and most of all, an emotionally-striking screenplay, Blue is the Warmest Colour is powerfully moving cinema at its finest. Wow, what a tour of heavily sensual emotions this film seriously is. This highly acclaimed French romance drama remains one of the best movies made in the last 10 years. It definitely ranks up there as one of most purely well-refined works of art among the LGTBQ genre. From start to finish, Blue is the Warmest Colour is an equally effective coming of age story as it is a film about heartbreak and betrayal. Based off of the graphic novel of the same name, the movie chronicles the life of a French teenager, named Adéle, who meets and falls in love with aspiring female painter, Emma. The first part acts as the birth and growth of their undeniable chemistry, while the second half is dedicated to the decay of their relationship. Through this relationship, Adele finds her personal freedom and liberation from the longing of true love she's been struggling with. Adéle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux are undoubtedly amazing together on-screen. Not only do they have great chemistry together, but both of them exchange such raw emotional depth between each other that you really do forget that these are characters on the-screen. They did an outstanding job of portraying this relationship with pure realism and naturalism. As the movie progresses, you can notice all of the subtle details that likely paved the way for their eventual breakup. On top of all of that, the sex scenes in this movie are indescribably charging and filmed with uncompromising tenacity. Blue is the Warmest Colour doesn't convey any false pretenses about its characters or its subject matter. It's a movie that deals with lesbian romance and artistic aspirations in such a profoundly honest way. The cinematography is impressively beautiful to gaze at, especially the close-up shot of Adéle floating on the beach as the water caresses her face. Oh man, I can't recommend Blue is the Warmest Colour enough. It more than earns the praise it has accumulated over the Rating Block or Report 22/05/2013 - Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux smash the barriers of social romanticism in the exceptional feminine "love story" by Abdellatif KechicheAdèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux in Blue Is the Warmest Colour"Touching the very essence of the human being" is the challenge of "cinéma vérité", or cinema revealing the candid truth, always confronted by Abdellatif Kechiche in a career already rich in rewards after only four feature films. But with Blue is the Warmest Color [+see also trailerinterview Abdellatif Kechichefilm profile], in competition at the 66th Cannes Film Festival, the filmmaker clearly soars to an even higher altitude by getting as close as possible to the hearts and skins of two young women from very different social backgrounds. Weaving a hyper-sexed romantic work of extraordinary breadth without ever departing from his stylistic line giving priority to life and the intensity of the sequences, nor renouncing profound reflection and social analysis, the director offers the almost unknown Adèle Exarchopoulos and rising star Léa Seydoux two enormous roles which they assume with incredible audacity. But beyond these performances nourished by the embraces, laughter and tears of youth, the film asserts itself as an ode to the simplest form of freedom and the most difficult to achieve, that of assuming who we are, without having to justify it. "What's my gender?" For the adolescent, questions about identity are ultra-relevent and Adèle Adèle Exarchopoulos, a school-girl from a working-class family in the suburbs of Lille, is of an age when the appetite for love and sexuality awakens. With a fondness for literature in an environment in which culture is virtually non-existent in conversations among girl-friends and at family dinners lulled by TV, she sooon feels uncomfortable in an adventure with a boy. For her life has changed since she happened to come across a girl with blue hair who unexpectedly invites herself into her erotic dreams. Somewhat lost in her desires and in a more or less unconscious search for this apparition, she is soon to find her and overcomes the aggressiveness of some of the school-girls "You'll never lick my pussy, you dirty dyke" before launching herself into the unknown territory of feminine homosexuality. Emma Léa Seydoux, the girl with blue hair, in her fourth year at the Fine Arts Academy, falls for Adèle's charm, gently keeping her at a distance at first "I'm one of those grown-ups who hang around in gay bars. I think we're rather different" before yielding to the alchemy of torrid bodies. Then begins the life of a couple that will gradually be fractured over the years by their vocations Adèle a teacher, Emma a designer and the gap that separates them in terms of ambitions, original backgrounds, education and their ways of envisaging happiness… While remaining true to the fundamental corpus the discovery of passion between women of the comic strip Le bleu est une couleur chaude on which he based his film, Abdellatif Kechiche evacuates almost all the aspects of lesbian militantism and the tragic dimension from his adaptation, in order to concentrate more fully on the sociological theme so dear to him the social gap and "melting pot" territories body to body, the pleasures of shared eating, demonstrations, parties and dancing, small classes in school etc.. His directing, which has become expert in the art of close-ups and movement delves deeply into the characters and examines the details of their feelings in long captivating sequences. The mastery and powerfulness of the sex scenes in particular go well beyond their pornographic dimension, simply offering portrayals of palpitating nature in its simplest expression. A transmutation also achieved by the transmission of numerous references in ideally rendered scenes of daily life, including The Life of Marianne by Marivaux the tale of a woman advancing towards and against everything, Antigone the "little" heroine one day deciding to say no and Sartre's Existentialism and Humanism. A whole which makes Blue is the Warmest Color a very great film, achieving spontaneous fusion between body and soul. Translated from French A Lot or a Little?
