Adele is a high school student
who cannot seem to find her place. Everything changes for her when she is
sexually awakened after seeing a young woman with blue hair in the street.
Adele goes out of her way to meet this girl, who is named Emma. Finding Emma
leads Adele down a road of discovery as she grows into herself and leaves adolescence
behind.
The film is written and directed
by Abdellatif
Kechiche, who also made the well-received The Secret of the
Grain. He works with cinematographer Sofian El Fani
on the film.
The cast is excellent, featuring
breakthrough performances from Adele Exarchopoulos
and Lea
Seydoux.
Blue Is the Warmest Color won the
2013 Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or (for Best Film) and it was for the first
time ever also awarded to the two leading actresses as well as the director.
The film is a beautifully told, acted, and shot romance drama that works very
much as a coming-of-age narrative. Along with The
Hunt, this film was my favorite foreign language film of the year. It is a
must-see for fans of romance dramas.
