My girlfriend and I waited months to see this film. It's still a movie, and so the only thing separating it from pornography is that the actresses aren't surgically or cosmetically enhanced, and the music selection is more tasteful. What is the directors obsession with Spaghetti 8 January 2014. There are moments that feel more awkward and genuine, but it's still a show because the cameras are on two beautiful, naked women, and every movement and feeling is exaggerated. Blue Is The Warmest Colour, based on the graphic novel of the same name by Julie Maroh, made history in 2013 by being the first Palme d’Or winner to have the award given to both its director and its two lead actresses.

But scandal aside, and while it's commendable for the film to include scenes of two women having full-blown sex in a movie about lesbians - because it's necessary, because it's honest, because it's a part of life between people in any relationship - there's a certain hypocrisy to the way the scenes are shot. With raw direction, phenomenal acting and a hard-hitting narrative, it’s a must-see romantic drama. One can't begin to imagine the scenario in which these two women agreed to have sex with each other on camera, let alone for multiple takes. At all times we have a portrait of Adele, with short shots, with an analysis of his life, so much so that after a while in front of the film, we feel part of it. The sex in the film is obviously not simulated, and the comments made to the press by Seydoux and Exarchopolous indicate a near-horrifying experience on set. '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. Blue Is the Warmest Color is an exciting love story between two young girls.
Of course, one can't discuss 'Blue Is the Warmest Color' without addressing the graphic sex sequences (one of which runs about 10 minutes straight). Adèle has described Kechiche as taking her from the shadow and putting her into light, in Blue is the Warmest Colour she has taken the most volatile, extraordinary and misrepresented emotion and placed that in the light.
