We do a runner as soon as emotion rears its head, because that's not why we're herewe're here for a good time. Adle's pain is heart breaking to witness because it is born from the joy she felt when things were going well. However I was alright with this ending artistically.

At the same time, Julie Maroh, the author of the graphic novel on which the film was based, publicly criticised the film's ground-breaking sex scenes, describing them as ''ridiculous'' and questioning whether there had been any real, live lesbians on Kechiche's set. It makes no sense. "Of course it was kind of humiliating sometimes, I was feeling like a prostitute," Seydoux said of the film's sex scene in an interview with The Independent. ''On one side are obsessive perfectionists, on the other self-involved exhibitionists, or so the theory goes.'' Imo, Adele is too abstract and stubborn to find her way alone. [96] The depiction of scissoring was also debated. Exquisitely. He brings the camera so close to the faces of his actresses that he seems to be trying to make their flesh more familiar to us than his own. Needless to say, I was pretty frustrated when the movie ended. Emma can handle more then one, lol! Adle also references Pablo Picasso a number of times,[47][48] who famously went through a melancholy Blue Period. ''In every shoot, between the actor and the director there is manipulation. Its also based on how the structure of a film works (development of certain themes), and how we know life works, where there is some kind of good solution to a huge problem, even if its not perfect or what one expects.

Its French candor, its unwavering camera, and the way in which it captures exactly what it feels like to ache for another human being. I remember having an oh-oh kind of feeling towards the end of that final scene, like: oh no they are going to end this with the Les girl saved by the hetero guy!, Yeah, I think that guy IS Kechiche. [20], One critic has suggested that the film is not a lesbian film, highlighting the exploration of Adle's bisexuality. ''How, when you are adored, when you go up on the red carpet, when we receive awards, can we speak of suffering?''. It makes no sense from a storytelling perspective and means his primary goal is to emotionally mess up his audience rather than make a film with intelligence and thought. Emma comes home late, having spent the evening working with Lise. I remembered cowardly trying to justify past actions while exes criedor, in some cases, threw things at me. The strength of this connection radiates off the screen, and the sex scenewhile explicitis necessary to illustrate the passion between the two. Otherwise, its a meandering mess with no meaning whatsoever. Emma is in a committed partnership with Lise and helps raise Lise's three-year-old daughter. Adele is confused about her sexuality after she breaks up with . Sometimes what I like to do is recall all my shatteringly painful life experiences. "[99] While praising Kechiche's originality, calling his adaptation "coherent, justified and fluid a masterstroke",[100] Maroh also felt that he failed to capture the lesbian heart of the story, and disapproved of the sex scenes. '', All smiles: Lea Seydoux (left), director Abdellatif Kechiche and Adele Exarchopoulos in Cannes.Credit:AP. [38], In September 2013, Seydoux and Exarchopoulos also complained about Kechiche's behaviour during the shooting. In the years that follow, the two women move in together. Theres sensitivity somewhere deep down in him, but its irretrievably lost due to the layers of pretension and bitterness, probably from his own life experiences. Someone comes up to Emma and says what a pick up artist! Adele watches this situation from a few feet away. The intensity of the characters' physical bond was believable to me -- even dramatically necessary -- and its dissolution heartbreaking. Just by the way humans operate, some moment of happiness, some way of Adeles dealing dealing with her huge Emma-based problem (which the ending he gives only compounds!!! It was later, a day before the New Year, that Kechiche decided to offer Exarchopoulos the leading role in the film; as he said in an interview, "I chose Adle the minute I saw her. I felt like a prostitute. I think a lot of his exposition is related to the literary reveals he makes throughout the movie, (especially the poetry reference in the last teaching scene) I think they form a plot that is more feeling than exposition. I was also worried that I'd see something far more intense and real than any lesbian porn I'd encountered on my trawls of the internet, and thatas a heterosexual manI would somehow be eavesdropping. Any future without the person who has transformed Adle's life, no matter whom she tries to fill her loneliness with, will be a hollow one. Youre comments are always welcome on this blog and greatly appreciate by me, especially, and I am sure all the fans that stop by here appreciate it too. I also noticed that foreign movies sometimes just ends the movie with some vagueness and leaves it to your interpretations and the directors want the movie to consume your minds for days on end. Immediately after the Cannes premiere, a French film technicians' union criticised Kechiche for his ''disorganised'' approach to filming and for making demands on his crew that amounted to ''moral harassment'', a charge he denied.

Sometimes they worked for 18 hours a day, although on other days Kechiche announced they were just going to drink coffee and talk. The final film is often very meandering, and often purposeless. Yes, it's a romantic clich, but the connection between the two characters is palpable and, as they fall in love, you can't help being reminded of how it feels to meet someone you really like: as though you are the only two people in the world. At 15, Adle (Adle Exarchopoulos) doesn't question: a girl goes out with boys. While sitting in the movie theater for 3 hrs, I was wondering, WHEN WILL THIS END??

[18] She passes an older woman with short blue hair in the streets one day and is instantly attracted. She sleeps with Thomas, a boy from school, but is ultimately dissatisfied and ends their relationship. Once I had left the theater, it dawned on me: What scared and affected me most about Blue Is the Warmest Color was its warts-and-all depiction of a human relationship. The film's premise is based on the 2010 graphic novel of the same name by Jul Maroh. She dreams of something more. In May, Abdellatif Kechiche and the cast of "Blue is the Warmest Color" looked like they were on top of the world. And moreover, if there is an answer, Kechiche should say what the fuck it is, since hes spent the entire film exploring how humans operate on an intimate level. As Emma grows out of her relationship with Adle and their passion wanes, she removes the blue from her hair and adopts a more natural, conservative hairstyle. It has very explicit sex with full nudity and graphic depictions of sex acts, mostly between two women, but one with a man also briefly shows an erect penis. Adele did mention that they filmed Adeles suicide but Kechiche decided not to use that ending. [37] Technicians accused Kechiche of harassment, unpaid overtime, and violations of labor laws. I thought of my parents, their terrible fights and eventual divorce, of my relationships and how it felt to hurt someone and be hurt by someone I loved. Blue Is The Warmest Color is also easily available to rent or purchase from prices beginning at $2.99 from Amazon, Vudu, iTunes or Microsoft. [72] In 2016, the film was named the 45th best film of the 21st century in a poll of 177 film critics from around the world. For Kechiche, this technique not only facilitates editing but also adds beauty to the scene that feels more truthful. Not the resolution of suffering as in the graphic novel, just suffering. Further themes are explored in Maroh's novel, such as addiction to prescription pills. Im just saying theres no reason for him to leave it vague, other than if he just ran out of energy. Frustration doesnt mean that for me as well, it just means that it got to me, and Kechiche was very successful into getting under everyones skin. [13] Exarchopoulos and Seydoux also received the Palme as a special prize. It had a limited release at four theatres in New York City and Los Angeles on 25 October 2013, and expanded gradually in subsequent weeks. There is a scene in the restaurant where two meet again, after years of separation, the tears that dwell on their eyes shows precisely how much they love each other, yet there is no way they will be together again. Watching Blue is the Warmest Color is an awfully carnal affair. [65][66], The film had a limited release in the U.S. and it grossed an estimated $101,116 in its first weekend ending 25 October 2013, with an average of $25,279 for four theatres in New York City and Los Angeles. Although the ending is not clearly define, its just how Kechiche wants to leave it. Either way, both column inches and word of mouth earned the film a level of infamy that put me in a state of anxiety before I'd even seen it.

[78], Andrew Chan of the Film Critics Circle of Australia wrote, "Not unlike Wong Kar-wai's most matured effort in cinema, Happy Together, director Abdellatif Kechiche knows love and relationship well and the details he goes about everything is almost breathtaking to endure. I have heard some people criticize Adele Ex as being expressionless as an actress. She dates men but finds no satisfaction with them sexually, and is rejected by a female friend who she does desire. Emma belittles Adle's career but encourages her to pursue writing, while Adle insists she is happy the way she is. Thank you Hong for your efforts in making this available to us! There was tremendous joy, of course, but its only purpose was to contrast with how horribly the film would end. [4] Further criticism targeted disrupted working patterns and salaries. But I'm also looking forward to hearing what other women will think about it. Written by Dennis Winslow, Robert J. Walsh , Ronn L. Chick. [7] The film generated controversy,[8] much of it about allegations by the crew and lead actresses of poor working conditions on set and the film's raw depiction of sexuality. Director Abdellatif Kechiche spends three grueling hours painting an incredibly intimate picture of a relationship, from the fuzzy beginning, through the wobbling uncertainty in the middle, to the. Their duration alone is exceptional, as is their emphasis on the physical struggle, the passionate and uninhibited athleticism of sex, the profound marking of the characters' souls by their sexual relationship. Approximately 800 hours of footage were shot, including extensive B-roll footage, with Kechiche trimming the final cut to 180 minutes. "[28] In the film, Adle's parents seem oblivious to her love affair with Emma and politely greet her under the impression that she is Adle's philosophy tutor. But some academics have questioned the film's treatment of lesbian sexuality, given that it was directed by a heterosexual man. I agree with the almost universal that the ending was horrible . While he may be aware that he is now a member of the cultural elite in France for being a critically acclaimed French filmmaker in the birthplace of cinema, among its philosophy, culture, and je ne sais quoi, he is very much aware that he is "not . It depicts their relationship from Adle's high school years to her early adult life and career as a schoolteacher. His fascination and familiarity with the world of pedagogy, as shown here in Adle's touching reverence for teaching, is another notable characteristic". It received a standing ovation and ranked highest in critics' polls at the festival. According to the report, crew members said the production occurred in a "heavy" atmosphere with behaviour close to "moral harassment," which led some to quit. We SHOULD know what happens to Emma. Together, Adle and Emma explore social acceptance, sexuality, and the emotional spectrum of their maturing relationship. He added, "What was decisive during our meeting was her take on society: She's very much tuned in to the world around her. ''I want to pay them tribute.''. ''I almost wish I was born now, because young people seem to be much more beautiful and brighter than my generation,'' he said. That an actress who grew up in Paris can be so resonant-expressive to a woman who grew up in Minnesota I find wonderous. Nothing Maroh said could douse the critics' rapture, however. ), is probably going to be around the corner. The only reason Kechiche doesnt give one, as far as I know, is either because he gave up, or because hes concerned with manipulating his audience first, and caring for people second. [69], On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, 89% of 204 critics have given the film a positive review, with an average rating of 8.20/10. ''You can see that we were really suffering. In the same interview, Exarchopoulos recounted how the director drove them on during a scene of a break-up. He didn't just shoot on set, either. As their stock of stories gathered momentum, however, Kechiche began to emerge as something of a monster. We are accustomed to getting what we want, how we want it and when we want it. I thought of my incredulous anger, confusion, and frantic questioning when I myself had been mistreated, wondering how something that was meant to be good could make me feel so hopeless. ''How indecent to talk about pain when doing one of the best jobs in the world!'' The ending isnt great if you are looking for a definite ending for Adele. At the point in their lives, the relationship has gone as far as it has. And all of this goes against the point of an ambiguous ending: If you make an ending ambiguous, make it ambiguous for a good reason! At the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, Blue Is the Warmest Color became the first same-sex romance to win the Palme d'Or. He himself has admitted to being pessimistic in interviews. Kechiche responded with fury of his own. As with many male fantasies of lesbianism, the film centers on the erotic success and affective failures of relations between women". (if not then wasnt she evicted from her own house she cohabited with Emma?) And its THREE HOURS of suffering. My questions: Do you think that this young woman is Emmas next Adele? The fact that Kechiche makes us so invested emotionally in these characters means that he should provide a payoff. I much prefer Kechiches ending. Parents need to know that Blue Is the Warmest Color is a French drama with English subtitles that chronicles a high school girl as she matures emotionally and sexually over about 10 years. The novel tells a love story between two young women in France at the end of the 1990s.. Abdellatif Kechiche directed a film adaptation in 2013 . It took the fourth spot in its first weekend, which was seen as a "notably good showing because of its nearly three-hour length". One thing I adore about this movie, (and something it is often criticized for) is how it doesnt force a plot on the viewer by scene after scene of implausible exposition. They later have sex and begin a passionate relationship. Lesbian sexuality is one of the film's primary themes, as the narrative deals with Adle's exploration of her identity in this context. He could ''retrieve the young man I was at one point'', but he also wanted to mark the point of generational change. Many people focused purely on the sex , labeling the film a gratuitous lesbian romp. I like to be tested. Is this the point when Adele fully realizes that she was not meant to be a permanent part in the life of Emma? Speaking to IndieWire on the preparation for her role, Seydoux said, "During those ten months [before shooting] I was already meeting with him and being directed. '', Kechiche's problem, she said, was his naivety. It shouldn't be seen as a cautionary tale to put people off relationships, but rather an honest portrayal of their meaningful ups and downs.

Two days later, he told a press conference in Los Angeles that it was obscene for these young women to claim they had suffered. Batrice says she does not want to proceed further and tells Adle to forget the kiss. Here, there isnt one. I know it's so hard for you, but you will see, the film will be great and you will have a lot of success with it'.'' he said. [64], Blue Is the Warmest Colour grossed a worldwide total of $19,492,879. Whyd Kechiche reduce such a feeling of hope to the ambiguous sound of a hang player rather than actually show it after so much build-up? What is the streaming release date of Blue Is the Warmest Colour (2013) in Canada? I am not strong like Emma, though I wish to be, or not. Blue Is the Warmest Colour is likely to be 2013's most powerful film and easily one of the best."[79]. So overwhelmed were the members of the Cannes jury that they decided to give the Palme D'Or not only to the director, but, in an unprecedented move, to the two actresses, Lea Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos, as well. To me it has the episodic quality of a dream, it presents scenes, moments of Adeles life, to us and we can fill in the gaps with our imagination. Its based in reality and the objectively good elements that the world has to offer in addition to the bad. She was joyful in marching against austerity, for LGBT rights with Emma, she took joy (and solace) in eating, her dancing was joyous, she took joy in her children, and there is even joy in the incredible relationship she had with her hair! Im sorry. In fact, in his interviews, Kechiche says I like Adele and can see her living to an advanced age, but not I can see her getting together with someone and being happy. This shows pretty well that he doesnt care about the characters and merely uses them as a means of manipulating his audience. [88], Manohla Dargis of The New York Times called the film "wildly undisciplined" and overlong, and wrote that it "feels far more about Mr. Kechiche's desires than anything else". Not the visceral tugging of heartstrings. Although this comes not from Kechiche himself but from Exarchopoulos, there have been racist jibes on the internet about an Arab persuading young French girls to take off their clothes. Not plot. Sure, you get used to it after a while its a movie after all and it does look poetic, but it still doesnt make sense with the rest of the film to me. perhaps years if you happen to be in Adeles shoes, or worse, Emma and somewhere along the way, we are either Adele, Emma or a combination of both. Often, my go-to is the timewhile attending university in a grim coastal townthat I got my head kicked in outside a club by a balding, middle-aged thug in front of my then girlfriend. [22][23] The social class division is clear in the two family dinner scenes, with Adle's conservative, working-class family discussing comparatively banal subjects while Emma's more open-minded, middle-class family mainly discusses more existential matters: art, career, life and passion. [85][86], Justin Chang, writing for Variety, said that the film contains "the most explosively graphic lesbian sex scenes in recent memory". We want to ignore our own problems and avoid having our vibes killed by hearing about anybody else's. Through the eyes of Adle we experience the breathless excitement of first love and first physical contact, but then, inevitably, all the other experiences that make life the way it is All of these are beautifully documented". That really, really sucked. The ending is frustrating and it lingers in your mind for days, months? but honest and appropriate. This post was published on the now-closed HuffPost Contributor platform. Blue is the Warmest Color (2013) is a movie that changed the film industry. Despite the critical praise the movie received in 2013, its release was somewhat overshadowed by controversies over its production. The irony of the film is that while Adle Exarchopoulos' Adle blames herself for the breach she ultimately brings about, her straying is a preemptive act of self-defense, a desperate--and terribly sad -- attempt at connection when the person who is her whole world has already started to slip away. Sorry. HI!! I really like him as a director. Not getting involved in committed relationships, marriage or otherwise, because of a fear of them coming to an end is a cop-out. [102][103][104] Kechiche dedicated the award to "the youth of France" and the Tunisian Revolution, where "they have the aspiration to be free, to express themselves and love in full freedom".
