When they first meet, Adèle is culturally naïve. Emma recognizes that Adèle is trying to come to terms with her sexuality and she wants to help. One night, Adèle aimlessly wanders into a lesbian bar and once more bumps into Emma, who turns out to be a college art student. Kechiche captures this efficiently in a scene basically embodied by a single tear rolling down Thomas’ face. After Adèle and Thomas finally have sex, Adèle reveals to her gay best friend Valentin (Sundor Funtek) that something felt missing, and shortly after, Adèle and Thomas break up. One day, Adèle passes blue-haired Emma (Léa Seydoux) on the street and can’t take her eyes off her, and Emma haunts Adèle’s erotic imagination. Her body language displays the insecure awkwardness of adolescence. Her hair is disheveled, strands often dangling down her face. Adèle is certainly beautiful as one of her fellow classmates takes note of, but she’s not a conventional beauty. Adèle is an avid reader who attracts the attention of a handsome boy named Thomas (Jérémie Laheurte). In its three-hour running time, the movie follows Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos) from age 15 to her mid-20s, and if anything, it feels too short.
Whether writer-director Abdellatif Kechiche has ethical lapses or poor people/management skills and whether he joins the ranks of artists who aren’t wonderful people, his film, which won the top prize at Cannes this year, is nevertheless a remarkable achievement, matching his last film, the great Secret of the Grain.Įssentially a coming-of-age and coming-out film, “Blue Is the Warmest Color” is an adaptation of Julie Maroh’s graphic novel. “Blue Is the Warmest Color” arrives with plenty of controversy-poor working conditions alleged by cast and crew, production overruns in both budget and schedule, and varied reactions over graphic sex scenes resulting in an NC-17 rating.
