Abdellatif Kechiche’s Palme d’Or winning film has been constantly overshadowed, first by its controversial and explicit sex scenes and then by the accusations of Kechiche’s questionable practices by his own cast and crew. It is a shame that the discussion has shifted away from the obvious qualities that Blue is the Warmest Colour possesses as this is one of the most intimate and nakedly honest coming-of-age dramas of recent years.
The original French title - La vie d'Adèle - Chapitres 1 et 2 - perfectly captures the essence of the film. It is merely two short chapters in the life of the film’s protagonist, Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos), on her journey of self-discovery. Adèle is an awkward yet hungry teenager who…
My poetic ode to a film that is so painfully honest, so beautifully raw, so hypnotic and captivating, so boldly passionate and stars two of the most beguiling actresses I have seen on screen for quite some time:
Like the turn of seasons
Fire dances its tune
Sometimes in radiance
A scorched crimson glow
Sometimes in passion
A bold amber hue
Even in bitter winds
The flame never dies
For in all of its colours
The warmest is blue
this movie kills me. it literally breaks me. there is no film about love better than this. nothing. i'm so sad.
"But I have infinite tenderness for you. I always will. My whole life."
We usually associate love with the color red (thanks to Wong Kar Wai, maybe). But for Adele, love came to her as short blue hair. Since then, almost everywhere she looked, she saw blue. Flowers stood out more, jeans were highlighted, the sky devoured her vision. So if she considers blue as the warmest color, who are we to correct her? The film invites us to see the world through Adele's eyes, and feel the infinite tenderness that she received from Emma. Whenever there's an emotional gap between the couple, the color fades. When they touch, the entire city seems to be painted over. It's evident that Emma's influence on Adele is absolute, now imagine that influence being forcefully ripped…
Blue Is the Warmest Color is an outstanding film about a girl who is trying to find herself. It's a coming of age film that is like nothing I've ever seen. This is truly a beautiful movie. I almost can't even call this a film because it seemed so real. Honestly, I felt like I was standing right on the side seeing everything unfold in person. These two women give the most sincere and honest performances that I have ever seen. Adele Exarchopoulos gives the BEST female performance of 2013. She was seriously beyond great. Lea Seydoux was outstanding as well.
Everything looked amazing; the camerawork and shots were something else. It added so much to the movie. The way…
Ultimamente as histórias sobre amadurecimento tem mexido muito comigo. Tenho revisto vários desses filmes e até revisitado alguns livros. São obras que retratam adolescentes passando por suas transformações, se descobrindo, se confundindo, se ferrando e aprendendo sobre a vida e sobre si mesmos.
É um puta “gênero” importante, porque durante esse período a gente fica um caos do caralho. Tem muita coisa rolando dentro de nós e ao nosso redor. É um momento em que nós somos cobrados por algum tipo de direção, você precisa ter alguma noção do que vai fazer quando completar 18, que faculdade vai cursar, onde vai trabalhar.... Mas, ainda mais problemático que essas pressões externas, são os milhares de pensamentos que passam pela nossa cabeça.…

If you're complaining about a 3 hour film being too short, I guess it's a good sign.
Really, Blue is the Warmest Color remains to be highly engrossing in spite of its run-time. Lea Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos are exceptional, with once-in-a-lifetime performances. Their relationship is very empathetic and human, and works within the story.
And the overall coming-of-age aspect is expertly hammered home. From naivete to ultimate maturation, Adele's character arc is thoroughly entertaining. Each plot point has the right amount of density and resolved with great impact.
However, there are some critiques worth mentioning. First and foremost: the sex scenes. They are overly long and unnecessary. Normal conversation sequences are jarringly to…
Blue is the warmest colour is an interesting coming out of age story that takes it time to develop characters.
I have to say that the two leads give perfect performance and therefore they sell me every scene. I really think the two actresses have or had a relationship, because their chemistry is really amazing.
The handheld camera that focuses very long on Adele fits her shy mindset and her insecurity about coming out of the closet.
I know that this movie is so long, because it lets it characters breathe and develop. You can see Adele gaining confidence about herself than losing it again, but in the end she accepts her situation and lives her life as it is. But still I have to say that this movie is a bit to long and faces some pacing issues in the middle.
The story of a woman who’s coming of age, as she’s learning to come to terms with who she is. It’s a rather simple story at heart, but that’s also the charm of this film. Adèle is confused and lonely. She doesn’t understand what she wants. Like most of us, Adèle is struggling to make sense of it all. She’s fumbling in the darkness; making mistakes and learning from them.
"I wanted to know, when was the first time you tasted..."
And here I am thinking "Atomic Blonde" has one of the hottest lesbian sex scenes. That shit don't even come close to what I just saw. In this extraordinary love story, you get the REAL DEAL BABY! There is no such thing as a dull moment in this film. It's blasphemous if you say other wise.
Some of my Horror peeps think I lost the love for my favorite genre which is not the case. I'm just adventuring out to different genres that I have neglected my whole life and never gave a chance to. It has always been Horror, Thriller, War, in that order with me. I felt the need to mix it up and I'm loving it! I promise I will be back to the genre I adore the most (in October) but in the mean time, I want to explore so much more.
Under the mile deep layers of unfiltered sex is a really beautiful story at its core. Also be prepared to drown in the color blue
