Blue Is the Warmest Color https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3e/La_Vie_d%27Ad%C3%A8le_film_poster.png Dir: Abdellatif Kechiche Genre: Drama, Romance, Coming of Age Year: 2013 Blue Is the Warmest Color is probably most famous for having a ludicrous amount of lesbian sex scenes that may or may not be anatomically "realistic." But it's really more that--and I would argue that not only is the sex not gratuitous, but it's completely essential to the theme of the film. BITWC captures the essence of sexual awakening so perfectly. Most of us have experienced this--the first time we find someone who we're insanely attracted to and they reciprocate. You fuck like rabbits all the time, sometimes just lying in bed all day and night with that person just bathing in this unconscious bliss. This film perfectly illustrates that feeling in all of its ASMR glory, but it goes beyond that. It also shows the inevitable denouement after that initial period of hedonism--the fighting, the heartbreak, the acceptance, and moving on. It is teenage love printed on 3 hours of film, and it's gorgeous. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
