Blue is the warmest color La vie d'Adèle - chapitre 1 et 2

DVD - 2014

The colorful, electrifying romance that took the Cannes Film Festival by storm courageously dives into a young woman's experiences of first love and sexual awakening. Blue is the Warmest Color stars the remarkable newcomer Adèle Exarchopoulos as a high schooler who, much to her own surprise, plunges into a thrilling relationship with a female twentysomething art student, played by Léa Seydoux. Directed by Adbellatif Kechiche, this finely detailed, intimate epic sensitively renders the erotic abandon of youth. It has captivated international audiences and been widely embraced as a defining love story for the new century.

Review by Library Journal Review

The overworked theme of young love receives refreshingly candid treatment in Abdellatif Kechiche's (The Secret of the Grain) drama about a sensitive high school student, Adele (Adele Exarchopoulos), who falls hard for older Emma (Lea Seydoux) as part of the bumpy road of her romantic awakening. Poignantly realistic in its emotional and sexual exploration, Blue earns its adult rating for explicit but not clinically detailed lovemaking. While overlong, this rite of passage is definitely worth taking for open-minded viewers. (c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
